| VIDEO: Texas home destroyed by massive fire An unoccupied home on the city's Southwest Side was destroyed by a fire late Tuesday night, according to the San Antonio Fire Department. The fire was called in around 10:50 p.m. at a home in the 260 block of Briggs Avenue, not far from New Laredo Highway and Southwest Military Drive. Firefighters said when they arrived, they found a single-story home fully engulfed in flames. They also had to battle water pressure problems from the hydrants that were near the home. Fire officials said the house is a complete loss and the home next to it sustained about $20,000 worth of damage. No one was inside either house at the time of the fire. Neighbors, however, say that some homeless people have been living there. At this time, the cause of the fire is not currently known.

This next phase will create a 5G standalone (SA) core and support the transition of public safety's Band 14 spectrum from LTE to 5G. It will also expand mission-critical services – such as voice, video, data and location – and prepare the network to evolve beyond 5G. The build includes 1,000 new cell sites within the next two years and upgrades to public safety's dedicated fleet of deployable network assets with 5G connectivity. Starting in March, FirstNet will be "the first and only wireless network" to provide America's first responders with always-on priority and preemption across 5G, expanding to include all of AT&T's 5G commercial spectrum, according to a press release.
