San Antonio firefighters worked for over an hour Monday afternoon to contain a large house fire on the Northwest Side .

SAFD believed the fire started in a gazebo attached to the house and then moved to the attic. However, a cause for the fire has yet to be determined.The fire caused crews to take a defensive approach, deploying exterior hoses and an aerial stream. The battalion chief clarified that while they referred to the conditions in the home as a hoarding situation, the categorization is used anytime a heavy content buildup impedes progress.

After over an hour, crews were able to get the fire under control, but the battalion chief said the home was likely a loss due to significant damage to the roof.
