HOUSTON — Houston firefighters responded a large house fire that forced multiple people out of their homes early Wednesday on the northeast side.
The fire was reported at about 1:45 a.m. in the 4600 block of Pickflair.
HFD responded to reports of a house on fire in the Kashmere Gardens community and began evacuating residents from nearby homes, in case the flames spread.
It took about 10 minutes to get most of the flames under control.
During the firefight, a resident returned home. Another resident remained missing, however. Firefighters at the scene said they hope the other resident wasn't home at the time, but they haven't yet been able to go through the building to clear it.
The investigation into the blaze is on-going, said HFD District Chief Jose Garcia.
