SAN ANTONIO — An abandoned two-story home on the East Side will likely be demolished after sustaining heavy damage during a massive fire Thursday afternoon, a fire official said.
The blaze occurred at about 5:24 p.m. Thursday in the 1900 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, where at least nine units responded to a fully involved fire, said SAFD spokesman Joe Arrington.

The spokesman said the fire had flames coming from the roof, with firefighters having to extinguish the flames from the outside due to the nature of the blaze.
He said the building, a two-story residential building, was abandoned at the time of the incident and will likely be demolished due to the extent of the damage.

SAPD said the home has had at least three calls for service in the past five years, with one including a burglary call in 2012.
The fire’s cause is currently undetermined, Arrington said.
