MORE THAN A DOZEN DISPLACED AFTER NORTHEAST SIDE OF SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS FIRE AT APARTMENT COMPLEX
January 29, 2015
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS — More than a dozen people are displaced
after a fire at a Northeast Side apartment complex destroyed several units on
Thursday.
Firefighters battled the blaze, which erupted in the second
floor of an apartment complex just after 11:30 a.m. in the 1000 block of
Garrity Road.
Crews arrived to find heavy fire in the building on the
second and first floor. Initial reports were that about five people may have
been inside the building. Crews conducted a search and confirmed the buildings
were empty and began fighting the blaze.
Conditions inside the structure were unsafe and firefighters
were forced outside the building to battle the fire. This is similar to the procedure followed by
the vols of Edgewater, New Jersey in fighting the massive fire at Avalon of
Edgewater last week. Playing safe for
the firefighters and just let the building burn.
