Overview
- The blaze, which began Thursday afternoon, originated in an electrical component of a meat case and triggered a multi‑alarm response.
- Fort Worth firefighters reported the fire was contained by about 8:30 p.m. after crews from Saginaw and Haslet provided mutual aid.
- H‑E‑B said there were no injuries and that customers and employees were evacuated as crews fought the fire.
- The store at 3451 Heritage Trace Parkway remains closed while H‑E‑B replaces damaged product, cleans smoke‑affected areas and assesses when to reopen; the pharmacy drive‑thru stayed open.
- The location was the first H‑E‑B to open in Fort Worth, and officials have not released a damage estimate or a final cause determination so investigators and shoppers will be watching for a reopening timeline.
