Dozens evacuated after fire at apartment units

Dozens of residents were evacuated from their homes Tuesday after an early morning fire started in a North Side apartment complex.

San Antonio Fire Department crews were called to The Place at Oak Hills apartment complex, 2370 NW Military Drive, just before 3 a.m. When crews arrived, they saw flames and smoke coming from a second-story apartment.

The fire spread to an additional unit and into the attic before firefighters were able to extinguish it.

Officials said they believe the fire started in that second-story apartment but do not know what caused it. The family living there escaped safely, SAFD spokesman Woody Woodward said.

About 40 residents were evacuated, and most were able to return to their homes. Ten people were displaced due to the fire, Woodward said. No injuries were reported.
