SAN ANTONIO — A woman and her young daughter were displaced form their home after an early morning fire jumped from a shed to their apartment, which was located inside a renovated freight container.
Firefighters responded to the 1600 block of W Mayfield Boulevard on the southwest side of town just before 3 a.m. for reports of a structure fire.
When they arrived at the location, crews encountered a working shed fire that had spread into a freight container that was refurbished into a small apartment unit.
Officials say that everything inside the small apartment was destroyed, but luckily no injuries were reported.
A woman and her young daughter lived in the home, and were displaced by the blaze.
