musicman Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 story A high-rise building is burning on Bellerive near Bonhomme. Firefighters have evacuated a number of people from the building. The fire broke out just before 10am. The building belongs to the Houston Housing Authority. It was built in 1975 and currently has 210 units housing low-income seniors. There are sprinklers in the hallways. Flames and thick black smoke can be seen pouring out of at least one window. Preliminary information suggests that the fire began in a woman's apartment on the fifth floor. There was a mayday call from a firefighter on the fifth floor, but that has been cleared. So far no injuries have been reported. There are still reports of people trapped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 That has to be the Bellerive Apartments at 7225 Bellerive (just north of Sharpstown Mall). What a horrible situation. I hope they are able to contain the fire and get to more people, especially since many cannot get out themselves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
