A fire at a family-owned business in north Houston was still smoldering several hours after a two-alarm fire sparked early Tuesday morning.The fire started at a lumber and roofing supply company -- Martin's Hardware and Lumber in the 6200 block of Jensen Drive near Melborn Street.
As many as 100 firefighters responded, said Houston Fire Department spokesperson Abby Cortez in an update later in the morning. Employees said the family-owned business has been in the north Houston neighborhood for about 80 years. In total, there are about 20 employees affected by the fire. The employees said the area that burned was the main office and an area that had a lot of paint and paint thinner -- chemicals that are highly combustible.
