Storage Shed Fire Spreads to Family Home and Triggers Investigations in San Antonio

Early Saturday morning, residents of San Antonio were jolted awake by the stark reality of a fire that started in a small storage shed and quickly spread to a nearby family home. The alarm bells rang just before 2 a.m. near the corner of North Pine and Duval Street, located just west of downtown San Antonio. Firefighters were dispatched after receiving calls about thick smoke and raging flames.

Upon arrival, the dedicated firefighters wasted no time. They jumped into action, tackling the inferno and shielding the family home from further damage. Thanks to their swift intervention, the home only suffered minor damage, a relief for the family involved. Remarkably, no injuries were reported from this early morning scare.

As of now, the cause of the fire remains a mystery. Investigators are diligently working to piece together the details surrounding this incident.

Another Fire Strikes Later in the Evening

This large multi-space storage shed was filled with various possessions, all of which suffered severe damage in the blaze. Thankfully, no injuries were reported in this incident either, but once again, it serves as a reminder to be vigilant when dealing with fire.

Major Blaze at Spa Crafters

In the interest of public safety, local authorities proactively cleared nearby streets, making sure residents were safe from the potential dangers of the fire. Fire crews spent several hours on the scene, ensuring that all hot spots were completely extinguished.

The intensity of these events escalated the public’s concern as the eastbound access road of Loop 1604, between Gold Canyon Road and Redland Road, was shut down for several hours due to the chaos. Just when you thought things could calm down, rumors emerged of multiple units catching fire at a storage facility off of 1604 near Culebra Road. This fell under investigation, yet again looking into potential damages and the cause of this alarming trend of fires.
