Deputy Chief and shift commander James Pennington said about 75 firefighters responded to the fire.

A fire broke out in Houston shortly after 10:15 p.m., with firefighters finding flames through the roof when they arrived. The blaze was brought under control after crews worked through the night. The HFD Arson Division is investigating the cause, and the exact number of affected units has not yet been determined. Some crews were already nearby handling a kitchen fire when the call came in. The American Red Cross is assisting displaced residents, and Deputy Chief Pennington said, "We're going to have some civilians that don't have a home tonight," as mentioned by Houston Chronicle.
