CONVERSE, Texas --
A firefighter collapsed while battling a house fire in Converse early Tuesday morning.
Converse fire officials said the firefighter suffered a seizure, but was expected to be recover.
The fire broke out around 2 a.m. in the 9000 block of Liberty View, where firefighters found the home fully engulfed in flames.
Converse fire officials said crews from four other departments, including Live Oak, Camelot, Gardenridge and Universal City, helped them battle the fast-moving fire for about 25 minutes before it was finally contained.
No one was inside the house and a cause was unknown as of 7:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Converse fire officials believe the intensity of the flames led to the firefighter suffering the seizure.
According to fire officials, heat and dehydration may have also contributed.
