Texas Townhouse Fire

Black smoke obscured the sunlit sky Saturday afternoon as an unstoppable blaze destroyed nine townhouses in Runaway Bay. The fire started at about 3 p.m. at Shoreside Terrace Townhomes. Firefighters from every department in the county responded, along with additional aid from Jack County. After two hours, nothing remained but ruins, ash, embers and smoke. At least 26 residents were displaced. There were no reported injuries. The Red Cross was on hand to dispense food, clothing and shelter for the victims. Several residents believed the fire started in the fireplace of one of the townhouses. As of this report, Fire Marshal Marc Dodd was still investigating the cause. December 20, 2009.

Comment by Carlos Alberto Hernández Gonzále on December 21, 2009 at 4:45pm: Pues si así atacan todos los incendios en Texas con razón los incendios en esa ciudad y en todo el país son tan grandes. Están haciendo un ataque defensivo con líneas de mano de 11/2” y como a 30 metros de distancia… Cual es el miedo de acercase un poco?

Que lastima que dejaran arder 9 hogares y en época de navidad.
