SAN ANTONIO – One person is dead following a massive house fire on the Northeast Side early Wednesday morning, San Antonio fire officials said.
The fire was called in just before 6 a.m. in the 13800 block of Briarmeadow Street, not far from both Nacogdoches Road and Higgins Road.
The person was found dead in a location where it appeared they were trying to escape, according to Woody Woodward, a public information officer for the San Antonio Fire Department.
The home had a gas leak that seemed to fuel the fire, Woodward said. Arson investigators have been called out to determine the cause of the fire.
According to the SAFD website, as many as 14 units have answered the call. No other homes were damaged.
