A house and two adjacent sheds went up in flames Monday afternoon in the 2800 block of Northwest 28th Street in Fort Worth, with one person treated at the scene for injuries. No other injuries were reported, and the person treated was not taken to a hospital for further care.
Reports differed slightly on when the fire broke out. According to FOX 4, the fire happened around 2 p.m. on the property off 28th Street, while the Fort Worth Fire Department told CBS News Texas it was reported just before 2:30 p.m. Video from the scene showed heavy smoke pouring from the roof of the home, along with the charred remains of a structure's frame, per the same CBS News Texas report.
As WFAA reported, the fire broke out in Northwest Fort Worth and officials said the American Red Cross would be notified. About two dozen firefighters responded to battle the flames, the outlet noted, though the number of people displaced, if any, was not immediately clear.
Damage Assessment Still Underway
The full extent of the damage had not been determined as of Monday evening. NBC 5 reported that one person was treated at the scene but was not transported, and that the cause of the fire remains under investigation. The station noted the home is located in the 2800 block of Northwest 28th Street.
Fox 4's report added that a nearby home may have also suffered some damage, though the extent of that damage was not confirmed. One resident was treated on-scene for minor injuries, with no other injuries reported, according to the station.
What Remains Unclear
Investigators had not released a cause for the fire as of Monday evening, and officials have not detailed the dollar value of the damage to the house, the two sheds, or the possibly affected neighboring property. Fort Worth fire officials said the number of people displaced, if any, was not immediately clear.
