The San Antonio Fire Department put out two fires on San Eduardo Avenue on Saturday.
SAN ANTONIO“It’s got more and more smoke and you couldn’t even see the house anymore and then the flames start shooting out,” Garcia said.
Two homes on San Eduardo Avenue on the West Side, just a few blocks apart, caught on fire on Saturday. One home was in the 900 block and the other was in the 400 block. No injuries were reported at either house.SAFD said the cause of that fire is still under investigation. It took 40 minutes for crews to put that fire out, which caused a delayed response for the second fire in the 900 block.
“It’s very freak nature that we see two structure fires on the same street just minutes before,” John Castillo, the SAFD Battalion Chief, said. Castillo said the crews who would typically respond to the fire in the 900 block were already tied up with the fire on the 400 block, so he and his team had to wait for surrounding fire crews to travel to San Eduardo to help out.“It was significant throughout the house because of the timelapse of what we were waiting on,” Castillo said.
By sunset, crews were able to put out both fires. Castillo said the cause was likely electrical for the house in the 900 block.Avery Everett is a news reporter and multimedia journalist at KSAT 12 News. Avery is a Philadelphia native.
