Deputies from Harris County Constable Mark Herman's Precinct 4 teamed up with Atascocita fire crews Thursday evening at a house fire in the 19600 block of Atasca Oaks in Atascocita, temporarily tightening traffic through the neighborhood as emergency vehicles moved in. Residents nearby were urged to steer clear of the area while crews worked, and motorists were warned to expect delays on surrounding streets. Authorities did not immediately release information about injuries or what sparked the blaze.
Precinct 4 shared photos and a short update on social media showing deputies on scene while fire crews worked to contain the fire. The post again asked people to avoid the area and let first responders work safely. The update was posted on Precinct 4's Facebook page Thursday night, according to Mark Herman, Harris County Constable Precinct 4.
