SAN ANTONIO – One child and two adults were hospitalized after an “explosion” and fire at a North Side home, according to the San Antonio Fire Department.
Crews responded to the fire around 6 p.m. Tuesday in the 15000 block of Preston Hollow Drive, near Thousand Oaks Drive.
SAFD said the fire was extinguished “very quickly” and the fire is likely related to a natural gas buildup.
The house sustained significant damage and will likely be demolished, SAFD said.
