SAN ANTONIO — A vacant 2-story home went up in flames, and the fire spread to an automotive business next door, burning the roof of the building.
The fire broke out around 8:45 p.m. on Thursday in the 2500 block of West Southcross.
Fire officials said the house is a total loss, and the fire burned about 80% of the automotive business. There were also embers blowing into the residential area nearby, but crews worked to knock out the spot fires.
It took several hours to extinguish the flames.
