Early Morning Fire in San Antonio Shocks Local Residents

In the early hours of Thursday, the residents of a neighborhood on Oneoak Drive in San Antonio were jolted awake by an unexpected incident. Just before 4 a.m., a fire broke out in the garage of a home. Thanks to the quick actions of a concerned neighbor, a mother and her adult son were alerted to the situation before it escalated.

A Hero’s Call

The neighbor’s timely warning allowed the occupants to vacate the premises safely as firefighters arrived swiftly to tackle the growing flames. Upon arrival, the firefighters were met with an alarming sight—smoke billowing from the garage.
