A late-night blaze in the Brays Oaks area has left one civilian hospitalized and caused an estimated $75,000 in property damage. The Houston Fire Department responded to an apartment fire last night, at approximately 11:13 p.m. located at 10555 Fondren Rd, as reported by official sources.

The fire was battled aggressively by firefighters upon their arrival, who discovered flames erupting from a two-story apartment building. In their duty, 49 personnel across various stations arrived to address the emergency, including firefighters from Stations 68, 82, 2, 59, 48, 51, 10, 24 and Rescue 10, making an offensive assault on the fire. As mentioned by the same source, a primary search was conducted based on reports of individuals trapped inside the building.

One person suffered burns and smoke inhalation while escaping an apartment before Houston Fire Department's arrival, necessitating transportation to the hospital for treatment. The fire, which was contained to the originating unit, also caused water damage to the unit below it. Meanwhile, power to the affected units was effectively isolated and controlled by CenterPoint after being notified by HFD.

Efforts to mitigate further damage and dangers included the use of fans to ventilate lingering smoke. The firefighting efforts resulted in over $15,900,000 worth of property being saved from destruction, as per the statement made by the Houston Fire Department. While the HFD Arson investigators were on scene to determine the fire's cause and origin, their findings are still under investigation, pending a conclusion to this matter.
