Two Overnight Houston Fires Cause Heavy Damage With No Civilian Injuries

Red Cross aid is available to displaced residents.

Overview

  • The Houston Fire Department battled two structure fires in different parts of Houston overnight, with no civilian injuries reported.
  • The first blaze destroyed at least six units at a three-story apartment building at Bellerive Drive and Marinette Drive.
  • HFD says the apartment fire likely started when food was left on a stove, and the Red Cross is helping displaced residents.
  • A later fire burned a single-story house on Glenhurst Drive, where crews searched the home and found no one inside.
  • A firefighter fell about 15 feet while ventilating the roof and was treated on scene, and investigators are reviewing the house fire’s cause.
