A significant structure fire raged through the Denton area on Wednesday, sparking serious concerns amongst the local population. According to a social media post by the City of Denton Fire Department, the blaze was fully involved and produced heavy plumes of smoke that spread across the Teasley area. Initial reports failed to confirm whether anyone was caught inside the engulfed structure.

The Denton Fire Department has been tackling the flames alongside the Lake Cities Fire Department, battling an aggressive situation as one additional house has suffered exterior damage due to an associated grass fire. Despite concerted efforts, the City of Denton Fire Department stated, "The fire is still active at this time," emphasizing an ongoing situation that has yet to be fully contained. Firefighters have been hard at work, attempting to quell both the structure’s blaze and prevent the grass fire from causing further destruction in the community.

Visibility in the area around Leatherwood/Teasley has been significantly reduced, posing an additional hazard for both residents and emergency crews. The community is advised to avoid the area to allow first responders to manage the situation effectively and with as little external interference as possible.

There has been no official word yet on the cause of the fire or the extent of the damage beyond the immediate exterior impact to nearby structures. The City of Denton Police Department and other emergency services are on alert and cooperating in the ongoing incident. Updates on the situation, including an assessment of causes and aftermath, are expected to be released as investigators and firefighting teams gain control of and extinguish the blaze.
