San Antonio firefighters discovered four people inside a home that was leveled after a two-alarm house fire on the Southeast Side.
Joe Arrington, a public information officer with SAFD, confirmed the discovery of the bodies in a Friday briefing. The identities of the victims have not been released, but Arrington said they may be family members.
“It’s a very dark day for the fire department here,” Arrington said.
The blaze occurred in the 4400 block of Wrangler Run.
An SAFD battalion chief on the scene said neighbors reportedly heard an explosion before seeing the flames.
Arson investigators were also working at the scene, Arrington said.
Officials initially thought a car caught fire in the garage, but Arrington said it was indeed a structure fire.
SAFD said the home was “a total loss.” None of the flames affected the neighboring homes, SAFD said.
An investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing.
