Damage Estimate Available in Storage Units Fire
By: Fox S.A. Staff
There is now a better sense of the cost of damage from the fire at a storage unit business on San Antonio's northwest side.
Officials now say the fire caused at least $80,000 in damage.
But officials say that number could only rise.
The fire damaged 27 units at Uncle Bob's Storage on Culebra and we're told not all of the people affected have showed up to sort through their belongings.
There's still no word on what sparked the fire.

Man gets 16 months for attempted arson in Tyler
May 22, 2013 12:25 GMT
TYLER, Texas (AP) -- A building contractor must serve more than a year in prison over a failed attempt to burn an East Texas methadone clinic in a rivalry for patients.
Daniel Kubisty in January pleaded guilty to attempted arson. A federal judge in Tyler on Tuesday sentenced Kubisty to 16 months behind bars.
The owner of a Tyler methadone clinic in December pleaded guilty to attempted arson and murder-for-hire solicitation. Edwards Jacobs in March was sentenced to nearly 16 years in prison over what prosecutors say was competition for patients.
Investigators say Jacobs last year paid Kubisty $3,000 to burn a competitor's clinic.
Kubisty was arrested in March 2012 and a gasoline can was confiscated. Jacobs tried to hire someone to kill Kubisty to block his testimony. That person was cooperating with authorities.
