The San Antonio Fire Department (SAFD) confirmed that a house fire, which began in a garage, displaced several residents on Wednesday evening.
The house is considered uninhabitable due to the extent of the damage.
Neighbors reported hearing fireworks in the area shortly before the fire started, prompting the SAFD to consider fireworks as a potential factor in the fire’s origin. The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The SAFD confirmed that no injuries were reported. Several families have been displaced as a result of the fire. The fire department is working with local authorities to continue the investigation.
Fireworks are banned in certain areas of Houston, and the SAFD has issued statements about the risks of using fireworks, particularly in residential areas. The investigation will focus on whether fireworks played a role in the fire.
The SAFD has asked anyone with information to come forward. Community organizations and neighbors are providing assistance to the displaced families. The investigation is ongoing.
