Sinkhole Opens in Central S.A.
By: Fox S.A. Staff
There are fears a sinkhole is expanding just north of downtown San Antonio.
Someone noticed the hole on McCoullough near Cypress around noon Tuesday and called 911.
Police showed up to block off the area and since then the hole has expanded to about two feet wide.
San Antonio Water System crews took over the area a few hours later and determined the sinkhole was caused by a water main break underground.
S.A.W.S. crews worked into the evening to try and contain the underground leak and keep the sinkhole from expanding further.

Firefighter dies in Dallas condo complex blaze
May 20, 2013 17:38 GMT
DALLAS (AP) -- A veteran Dallas firefighter has died after being trapped while battling a six-alarm blaze at a condominium complex.
Dallas Fire-Rescue officials identified the victim of Monday's blaze as 51-year-old Stanley Wilson. Wilson had been a Dallas firefighter for 28 years.
A U.S. flag covered Wilson's body when it was located and removed from the rubble about six hours after the fire started before dawn Monday.
Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans says two firefighters were transported to a hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening. Two residents were treated for minor smoke inhalation.
Authorities are trying to determine what sparked the fire that damaged about two dozen units.
Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings says Wilson was a hero who laid down his life for citizens.
