Firefighters were called to battle a blaze at an abandoned warehouse in Houston's Greater Fifth Ward yesterday afternoon, officials said. According to a release obtained from the Houston Fire Department, the fire broke out at approximately 2:15 p.m. at a structure located at 1999 Semmes St. 77026.

Upon arrival, emergency crews found flames on the side of the warehouse and made an offensive attack to douse the fire, which had also consumed the same building in a previous incident. No injuries have been reported, and the cause of the fire remains a mystery, under investigation by HFD Arson investigators. As of now, details regarding property saved or the extent of the damages have not been made available by the officials.

This isn't the first time this particular warehouse has commanded the attention of Houston's first responders. Despite being abandoned, the building seems to hold onto the echoes of its industrial past, unwilling to fade into the landscape quietly. The history of the property and why it has been susceptible to fire incidents remain untold.

The response to the emergency involved a significant deployment of resources, with 46 personnel on the scene to control the situation. This included teams from Stations 8, 19, 9, 12, 27, 6, 30, and Hazmat units who worked in concert to extinguish the stubborn fire. Information about the incident was dutifully recorded by the city's fire department.
