SAN ANTONIO — Around 30 residents of downtown apartments were evacuated Tuesday morning after a kitchen fire sparked at a steak house on the San Antonio River Walk.

San Antonio Fire Department crews were called to the Saltgrass Steak House, 502 River Walk St., just after 2 a.m.

Authorities said a fire that began in the kitchen climbed up a wall and sent smoke into the apartments above.

Electricity had to be shut off in the apartments, forcing residents to step outside for a short time.
