'We're kind of familiar with this (fire) drill in our neighborhood. We don't have fire hydrants,' said a homeowner in northeast Houston.
HOUSTON, Texas -- Firefighters worked to extinguish a house fire in northeast Houston around 10 p.m. Saturday, HFD said.
Upon arrival, firefighters found a two-story home blazing from the roof at Lakeside Terrace near the Sam Houston Tollway. The fire started in an area where contractors had been renovating earlier in the day, officials said. The homeowner says the neighborhood has been trying to get the city to put fire hydrants in the area for a long time now.
"We're kind of familiar with this drill in our neighborhood. We don't have fire hydrants," said, Scott Smith, a homeowner."They ran out of water! We're the fourth-largest city, and we don't have water in Houston."They sent us a statement saying,"Incidents in the area without hydrants would require water shuttled/relayed. Please allow the HFD adequate time to assess the challenges faced.""I have my family," Smith said.
