San Marcos Fire Kills 1, Displaces 15
SAN MARCOS, Texas (AP) — A woman was killed and 15 people were displaced by a fire that damaged part of an apartment complex, city officials said.

Fire Chief Mike Baker said Sunday that the victim’s name was being withheld pending notification of her relatives.

The fire broke out about 6:15 p.m. Saturday at the Palm Square Apartments. The fire caused heavy damage to one apartment, while others sustained smoke and water damage.

The American Red Cross was assisting those displaced by the fire.

Justice of the Peace Margie Hernandez ordered an autopsy of the body of the victim, who was found in the burned apartment.
