SAN ANTONIO — Two people will be looking for a new place to stay after a fire broke out in their bedroom early Sunday monring, according to officials.
Firefighters were called out just after 1 a.m. to the 100 block of Beatrice Avenue at S. Flores Street on the southside for reports of a fire.
Fire crews quickly attacked the fire that was coming from a front bedroom and got it under control within minutes of arriving at the location.
