San Antonio firefighters were called to two fires on Thursday night amid the humid temperatures.

KSAT12 reported that several homes were destroyed in a fire on the North Side on Chipping Drive, near Montgomery Drive and New World Drive.

No injuries were reported, though one firefighter did overheat and had to step away from the fire.

In a separate incident, several people were displaced and looking for a new place to stay after a fire damaged their apartment units on the Northwest Side, according to the San Antonio Fire Department.

KSAT12 reported that the fire happened just after 6 p.m. Thursday at an apartment complex in the 6900 block of Border Brook, near Timberhill.

Officials said the fire drew a heavy response, with at least 37 units called to the scene. Upon further investigation, firefighters said they believe the fire is accidental and could be electrical.

In total, three apartment units were damaged -- one by fire and two by smoke.
