HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A large fire ripped through a building at an apartment complex Wednesday morning in southwest Houston.
ABC13 first heard a call at about 5:30 a.m. from emergency responders for fire coming from the building in the 3900 block of Synott Road at Ashford Point.
Views from SkyEye showed flames pouring through the roof and firefighters on ladder trucks working to douse them. Houston TranStar cameras at one point showed thick, black smoke barreling into the sky.
Despite that, the fire was contained to one building at the complex, affecting 24 units, said Houston Fire Department Asst. Chief James Campbell, adding two other buildings had slight damage, but the flames didn’t spread.
More than 100 firefighters were on scene.
No one was hurt.
Floors and the roof of the building collapsed, Campbell said.
Crews will be at the site throughout the day.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
