SAN ANTONIO – A faulty air conditioning unit is the likely cause of a house fire on the near North Side early Tuesday morning, according to the San Antonio Fire Department.

Fire officials said the fire appears to have started on the outside of the home by an air conditioning unit. The fire left a big hole on the side of the house, firefighters said.
