The fire department tells us the fire started in a common balcony area and spread quickly into the attic and walls of the complex.

“When we got here, we found a fire on the fifth floor. It’s a common space, kind of a patio, common patio area. It’s open air with a roof on it. Some fire on that floor. Thought we had it out. Then we realized that the fire had gotten into the to the walls and the attic space there,โ€ explained Joe Arrington from the San Antonio Fire Department. “Well over 100 firefighters here on scene. It’s not going to be a big, large inferno – behind you don’t see a lot of fire. It’s in the walls. It’s kind of in the floor.”
