Houston, TX (November 29, 2021) – A woman and her dog died during a house fire in the neighborhood of Deer Park on Monday, November 29th.
At about 12:40 a.m., fire crews were dispatched to reports of a house fire on East 2nd Street near Center Street.
The home is a duplex. Officials said the fire appears to have started in the unit on the left.
Firefighters arrived at the home and found very heavy smoke and flames.
Once they were able to access the inside of the home, they found the body of a 41-year-old female victim and her dachshund. Firefighters brought them outside, but they were already dead.
As for the cause of the fire, the Deer Park Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
Fatal House Fires in Texas
Every year, several thousand victims sustain severe injuries caused by residential fires. Most of these victims will have no choice but to withstand long hospitalizations, multiple surgeries, extensive medical treatments, and will be physically unable to return to work until their injuries are completely healed.
These circumstances will probably pose very serious financial hardships for victims and their families. Injuries that are frequently caused by residential fires include varying degrees of epidermal burns, sometimes resulting in permanent nerve damage or disfigurement, and respiratory problems associated with smoke inhalation.
