SAN ANTONIO, TX – The family of a woman who was killed in an East San Antonio residential fire on Wednesday says a space heater may have been to blame for the blaze.
According to KSAT, 68-year-old Maria Trevino was killed after a fire tore through her home within the 7000 block of Runnels Avenue.
Travino’s son attempted to rescue his mother multiple times. Unfortunately, by the time fire crews arrived, the blaze had already fully engulfed the home.
Family members say the space heater was being used in a different room may have sparked the fire that left Travino trapped in her bedroom. Firefighters have not yet established an official cause of the fire as of Thursday evening.
