SAN ANTONIO – A house on the East Side will likely will be deemed a total loss following a fire early Thursday morning, the San Antonio Fire Department said.

Firefighters said when they arrived, the house was fully engulfed in flames.
Fire officials said they were able to put out the fire quickly and without incident. The damage to the home, however, was quite extensive.
