Crews with the city of San Antonio already have begun tearing down what was left of an abandoned bar that caught fire early Wednesday morning.– Crews with the city of San Antonio already have begun tearing down what was left of an abandoned bar that caught fire early Wednesday morning.
The fire had caused the roof and several walls to collapse on the building that once housed Midnight Rodeo, near the corner of Nacogdoches Road and Thousand Oaks. Firefighters answered a call around 4:30 a.m. about smoke in the area but initially had trouble locating the fire inside the 25,000 square foot structure.He said throughout the years, the bar, which permanently closed in 2019, apparently had undergone numerous renovations that resulted in several layers of wood inside the building.
Although firefighters had a tough time breaching the building’s secured doors, Hood said they found evidence that homeless people had been inside it recently. He said the building still had working electricity until about a week ago, and the inside of the bar was practically the same as it had been when it shut down.About three hours after fire crews began their battle, the fire roared back to life when the roof and walls collapsed.They eventually were able to knock the fire down, then a demolition crew brought in heavy equipment to begin tearing down the remains of the building.Copyright 2022 by KSAT - All rights reserved.
