A fire at an apartment complex north of downtown left one resident displaced and one apartment heavily damaged.
Over 30 SAFD units were initially dispatched to the scene and all of the complex residents had to evacuate the building as crews battled the flames.
The fire started on an exterior wall of the apartment complex before the flames traveled up to the third floor, according to fire officials. All residents were forced to evacuate and a short time later, fire crews were able to get control and extinguish the flames. No injuries were reported. One resident is displaced and SAFD said it is working with apartment complex management to help relocate them. If they are unable, fire officials said the Red Cross will step in.
Firefighters have since given the all clear and residents can now return to their units. Fire officials are still investigating the cause of the fire.Copyright 2022 by KSAT - All rights reserved.
