SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio firefighters have responded to a 2-alarm fire at an industrial building on the city’s far Northeast Side early Friday morning.
The fire was called in just before 5:30 a.m. at Powerhouse Electric in the 13100 block of Lookout Way, not far from Judson Road and Lookout Road and Interstate 35.
Fire officials say when they arrived, they found heavy smoke coming from a warehouse portion of the building. Due to the quickly deteriorating conditions, they had to battle the fire defensively, a battalion chief said.
Firefighters were seen cutting a hole into a garage on the side of the building in attempt to get water inside. No one was inside the building, and no injuries have been reported.
Authorities say the fire still hasn’t been put out and they are going to take their time extinguishing the flames to be safe. Their intent is to keep it from spreading to an office portion of the building.
According to the San Antonio Fire Department website, as many as 32 units answered the call.
The cause of the fire is not currently known.
