SAN ANTONIO – Three people were reportedly hospitalized after a fire broke out inside an elevator shaft at the Bexar County Jail.<\/p>\n
At 5:40 p.m. on Monday, crews responded to reports of a structure fire at the Bexar County Jail, near the corner of Buena Vista and Comal Street in downtown.<\/p>\n
When first responders arrived, they found a small fire in a closet area and began investigating further, ultimately finding that a fire had broken out inside an elevator shaft.<\/p>\n
According to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, there was construction work underway in an elevator shaft when something involving the machinery apparently caught fire.<\/p>\n
One SERT team member cut himself on the box holding the water hose. Another SERT team member was taken for evaluation as a precaution for possible low oxygen exposure.<\/p>\n
One inmate was also being taken out as a precaution for possible low oxygen exposure.<\/p>\n
Investigators are still working to determine what caused the machinery to catch fire. The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – Three people were reportedly hospitalized after a fire broke out inside an elevator shaft at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":415992,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-416060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=416060"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416060\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/415992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=416060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=416060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=416060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
