House Fire in League City
Submitted by Eddie Harper
On Thursday December 13, a family lost their home in the Oaks of Clear Creek
Subdivision. The fire started in the garage at around 4:30 that afternoon. It is
unclear what started the fire. The son Andres was home at the time and heard
popping and cracking noises. When he opened the back door to see what the noise
was about he was met with a wall of smoke and fire. He then called 911. Moments
later the police arrived, then I arrived and started photographing (I happen to
live in the neighborhood). I kept thinking to myself “What’s taking the Fire
Dept. so long?” I later realized that less then 3 minutes passed between the 1st
shot at the scene and the first shot of a Fire Engine arriving (just goes to
show you how your mind can play tricks on you). The Fire Dept. quickly got
things under control and saved the house next door (some damage to the garage)
and the home behind it. Nobody was injured. The family dog “Smokey” – I’m not
making that up- was found safe upstairs under the bed.
It was an experience watching multiple city dept.’s working together on the
scene keeping things safe. They did a great job and hat’s off to the Guys and
Gals of the League City Volunteer Fire Dept. Though a family lost their home,
things could have been a lot worse! check out the photos
