SAN ANTONIO — A fire at an apartment building sparked by a lightning strike triggered a sprinkler system that damaged four units.
This happened at the Sutton Oaks Apartments on I-35 on the east side early Sunday morning.
Fire officials say the lightning hit the roof of building nine. A small fire broke out and it was quickly extinguished.
Officials say the sprinkler system activated and soaked four units. 16 people from those four units are now without a home. A total of 12 units were impacted in some way.
No injuries were reported.
The Red Cross is now helping the people who had to leave their apartments.
