San Antonio firefighters are looking for answers after a Southwest Side home was destroyed by flames late Sunday night.
The fire was called in around 10:20 p.m. at a home in the 9200 block of Echo Port Drive, not far from Loop 410 and Old Pearsall Road.
Firefighters said they arrived to find flames showing on both the back and side of the house. They had to evacuate homes on both sides and were able to get two of three residents from inside safely out. Fire officials say it is unclear if the third resident was inside at the time of the fire. The roof and floor both collapsed while battling the fire and the main walls were leaning towards a possible collapse as well, firefighters said.
The stability issues kept firefighters from further searching the home. The house is likely to be demolished as a result of the flames, the SAFD said.The San Antonio Fire Department, the San Antonio Police Department and EMS all responded to the call.About the Authors:

A historical San Antonio home designed by Lone Star Brewery's architect is now for saleCharles Haarmann paid just $1,000 for a half-acre lot in what's now the King William Historic District. In 1893, he tapped architect Albert Beckmann to design the five-bedroom house now on the market for $2.3 million. Beckmann, who designed commercial and public buildings along with homes for San Antonio’s elite, was a key member of the design team for the original Lone Star Brewing building, which now houses the San Antonio Museum of Art. More residents of Haarmann's one-time home include longtime San Antonio newspaper columnist Rick Casey and the late Christopher Price, a two-time president of the King William Association. From the numerous covered porches on two floors and ornate stonework touches to the extravagant interior woodwork in every room and the grand staircase, the estate feels like a step back in time. An array of stainless steel appliances in the kitchen offers a rare reminder of the current century. The 4,000-square-foot property also features a pool, outdoor kitchen, a dog run and raised garden beds made of limestone. A large workshop and a 900-square-foot apartment are also included in the sale price. This home is listed by Debra Maltz with Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty.
