6 units destroyed in 2-alarm apartmen fire in SW Houston

Firefighters were able to quickly stop the flames from spreading, saving other apartments

HOUSTON — Houston firefighters battled a 2-alarm apartment fire in southwest Houston Wednesday evening. 

The fire happened at about 7 p.m. at the Pebble Brook Apartment Homes in the 8800 block of Gustine Lane.

When firefighters arrived on scene, they were told two people could possibly be trapped in the burning apartment building. Thankfully, those two people were found safe.

Firefighters told KHOU 11 the older apartment building had a common attic space and fearing the fire would quickly spread, the district chief quickly called for a second alarm. 

The damage was limited to just six units, with only one having extensive fire damage, according to HFD. 

The Red Cross has been called to help those displaced.
