Fire in third-floor apartment spreads to attic at NW Side complex; residents displaced

No one was injured

SAN ANTONIO – Residents of a Northwest Side apartment complex will have to find a place to stay following a fire there on Tuesday morning.

The fire started at 4 a.m. in a unit on the third floor of the Chisolm Trace Apartments in the 10500 block of Huebner Road, between Research Drive and Fredericksburg Road.

Firefighters said a motor in a bathroom fan caught fire, and flames spread to the attic.

Firefighters had to tear open the roof of the complex to pour water on the attic, which may have caused some damage to other units.

Residents were able to enter their units to assess the damage, however, they won’t be able to stay there for now, as electricity and water were disconnected.

The estimated cost of damage is unknown. SAFD said no one was injured.
