Firefighters spent New Year's Eve fighting several fires across
the city and at least two of them may have been sparked by
fireworks.  One broke out at a two-story house in the 600 block
of Rigsby, near New Braunfels Avenue.  Two people suffered smoke
inhalation, but both expected to recover.  The fire caused about
$5,000 worth of damage.  Fireworks may also be to blame for a
fire on the east side.  It broke out overnight in the 100 blk of
Fuente Alley near South Walters.  Damage is estimated at around
$10,000.  Food left on stove blamed in apartment fire
Firefighters say food left on the stove was the cause of this
fire at an apartment complex at Southeast Military and South
Presa overnight.  The fire started in one of the apartment
buildings around 9:45 p.m. and people inside the building were
evacuated.  No one was hurt but two units were heavily damaged.
