A fire broke out at an assisted living facility on the city’s North Side, prompting residents to evacuate, according to the San Antonio Fire Department.
The fire happened around 12:30 p.m. Sunday at a facility off of Loop 1604 and Sonterra Place.
According to SAFD, the flames started in a pool heater. When fire crews arrived, staff at the facility were already evacuating residents. No injuries were reported.
Firefighters were able to keep the flames contained inside of a vent in the pool area. However, after the flames were extinguished, there were smoke and water damages.
Some of the residents will be relocated to a different room, but staff said there are some available.
This is a developing story and we’ll bring more updates as they are reported.
