SAN ANTONIO — Firefighters spent Tuesday morning putting out a huge fire east of downtown. It started at a house around 5:30 a.m. in the 100 block of Omaha Street, near South Hackberry.
The house was said to be under renovations, but the fire destroyed it. Neighbors said they are suspicious of the circumstances surrounding the fire and suspect a serial arsonist is on the loose.
The San Antonio Fire Department said the fire spread to an adjacent home but it was quickly contained.
Officials haven't given a cause of the fire but said due to the severity of the damage, it will likely be carried out as undetermined. There were no injuries reported.
