SAN ANTONIO — Firefighters battled a blaze that destroyed a detached garage on the east side, but were able to prevent it from spreading further overnight.

San Antonio firefighters responded to the 200 block of Hub Avenue near East Commerce Street just after 4 a.m. Monday for reports of a fire.

When first responders arrived at the location, they found a heavily involved fire in a detached garage located on the property.

The structure is a total loss, and the home on property suffered fire exposure damage but is believed to be minimal.

One person suffered minor burns and was being treated on the scene, but nobody else was reported injured.

The estimated cost of damage is $30,000 and the cause of the fire is still being investigated.
