Arson Suspected in Texas Motel Fire

There were no injuries.

SAN ANTONIO --

Arson was suspected in a two-alarm fire that destroyed at least four units of a Super 8 Motel early Monday on the city's northeast side.

When firefighters arrived at the motel in the 3600 block of Interstate 35 at 2:30 a.m., they found flames coming out of the back of the structure.

No injuries were reported.

Because the fire appears to have originated outside the building, fire officials said it appears the blaze was deliberately set.

Damage was estimated at $100,000.
