Houston FD Burns Up Another Apartment

[entropychaser]

1 firefighter treated for heat exhaustion, 8 units destroyed in apartment fire in SE Houston: HFD

Residents paint a scene of chaos. Before fire crews arrived, residents said they jumped into action. One man stopped a woman from going back into the flames to get her pets, a resident said.

What heat? It was raining off and on all day and only made it up to 94 degrees today . It was 101 degrees the last two days. I got 3.2 inches of rain (plus hail) last night in about 90 minutes.

And, they just hit a third alarm in northwest Houston on Teague Road in the last hour. That's a long ride for TV reporters. Engines 49, 66, 50, 77 out there- the usual suspects.

I don't understand the headline of this thread. Did Houston FD members ignite the fire intentionally?
