Day 28 - Four-Alarm Fire - 1st Update [Video]

This night we made the biggest fire since I'm in Houston. I copied you the article from the website of the local TV station. Pictures are coming soon. I had to give my camere memory card to the Arson Lab, because they need it for investigating this fire.

A 49-year-old woman was killed after a four-alarm fire near downtown early Monday morning.
Firefighters arrived at West Dallas and Taft to a fully involved blaze with four homes on fire. Each home has four units in it, and they share a garage with nine other units.
The fire department isn't sure exactly how many people were in the buildings.
After a search that lasted 30 to 45 minutes, firefighters found a woman thought to have been missing. She was found dead inside one of the upper floors of the garage apartment. Her son had said she was inside and had tried to run inside the burning house.
The woman, who is from Mexico, lived at the home with her 21-year-old daughter.
"She was a really lovely lady," said Jason Hurst who knew the victim. "She worked really hard. She tried to help her children who lived with her. She's come here for a better life. What a horrible tragedy."
The woman had lived in the home for 15 years.
Firefighters said the damage to the structures is extensive and that it is a miracle no one else was hurt or killed.
A woman believed to be six months pregnant was taken to the hospital for observation.
The cause of the fire and why it spread so quickly is the center of HFD's investigation.
"These buildings are about 40 feet apart, so once you get a heavy fire going, the radiant heat is pretty hard for us to stop," HFD District Chief Tommy Dowdy said.
Crews are going to bulldoze the damaged structures as a precaution.
The American Red Cross will step in to help those displaced by the fire.
The entire area of West Dallas from Montrose east to downtown will be closed for the duration of the morning and quite possibly through lunch.
