Fire that started at Stripes gas station an act of arson, investigators say
A man has died from severe injuries suffered in a fire that he started at a Stripes gas station on South Padre Island Drive on July 29, according to the Corpus Christi Fire Department. Arson investigators determined that the fire was intentional based on evidence gathered at the scene, witness interviews and security camera footage from a nearby 7-Eleven convenience store, according to a written statement from Assistant Fire Chief Juan 'Tony' Perez. The man, identified by the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office as Santos Ligues, succumbed to his injuries at Brooke Army Medical Center in the early morning of Aug. 3. Investigators are looking further into the details of the commercial fire that ignited at the station at 5939 South Padre Island Drive. Officers from the Corpus Christi Police Department responded to the call of a fire at 5:39 p.m., according to a departmental news release. First responders arrived at 5:44 p.m. and found a vehicle and gas pumps engulfed in flames underneath one of the awnings and the injured man in the parking lot, Fire Chief Brandon Wade said. The first crew of firefighters to arrive immediately tended to the injured man, while another pulled a hose line to extinguish the vehicle fire, he said. Medics first took him to Bay Area Medical Center. However, an ambulance later transferred him to the hospital burn unit in San Antonio due to the severity of his burns, Perez said. Perez said that the department collected statements from witnesses and spoke with the victim's family members at the end of last week and over the weekend to compile a report that explained the cause of the fire. He said that the man's family is believed to be from San Antonio. The Corpus Christi Police Department did not respond to a request for comment.

Man injured by fire at gas station at Airline and SPID, Corpus Christi fire officials say
A man is in critical condition after a fire erupted at an Exxon gas station on South Padre Island Drive on July 29. At 5:39 p.m., officers from the Corpus Christi Police Department responded to a call of a commercial fire in the 5900 block of South Padre Island Drive near Airline Road, according to a departmental news release. Firefighters from the Corpus Christi Fire Department arrived at 5:44 p.m. and found a vehicle and gas pumps engulfed in flames underneath one of the awnings, Fire Chief Brandon Wade said. The first fire crew to arrive attended to an injured man in the parking lot, while other firefighters pulled a hose line to extinguish the vehicle fire, he said. When a battalion chief officer upgraded the vehicle fire and gas pump to a structure fire, the department sent additional fire trucks, an EMS vehicle, ladder trucks and incident command officers. A total of nine units put out the flames by 5:46 p.m., within a couple of minutes of applying water, Wade said. EMS transported the man to the Corpus Christi Medical Center Bay Area Hospital in critical condition. He was later airlifted to a burn unit in San Antonio, the chief said. No one was in the vehicle during the fire. The chief praised the department and law enforcement for the quick, coordinated response and success in transporting the patient to the hospital within about seven minutes. 'We had a great response to this, which allowed us to manage it very quickly to reduce any other fire spread and keep it from hurting anyone else,' he said. 'With fuel fires, you may need more water, so by bringing more units, it helps establish more water supply. 'We were on scene a lot longer because of the fuel spill coming from the fire,' he said, adding that gas tanks will sometimes rupture in such scenarios. Arson investigators with the fire department are determining what caused the fire. The chief added that the department thinks the vehicle that caught fire belongs to the man and that it could have been accidental. While cars sometimes catch fire at gas stations, the fact that it happened in the middle of the day and involved a free-burning gas pump that severely injured someone made it unusual. 'This is not something you typically see, but we're prepared for it,' Wade said. 'Thankfully, that doesn't happen every day of every year.' A Stripes store located at the station was open during the incident, he said.
