A Late Night Lubbock Home Fire Resulted In Two Deceased Pets

A late night Lubbock fire has displaced multiple people and caused some fatalities. Lubbock Fire and Rescue were dispatched at 11:40 p.m. to the 5600 block of Avenue A on Wednesday, February 15.

KAMC news reported that the fire was reportedly called in as coming from a home in the area, along with a shed, but at the scene Lubbock Fire and Rescue discovered a slightly different scenario. When emergency crews arrived at the scene they found flames were coming from a home located behind a main home and nearby gazebo, along with some downed power lines.

Through an investigation it was revealed that the fire had moved from it's main source to a neighboring home. Due to the severity of the blaze multiple fire crews had to be dispatched to help put out the flames. The home that was said to be where fire originated from was said to have sustained the most damage compared to the rest of the scene.

Due to how much damage was sustained to the home three adults were displaced while only one person had to be transported to a Lubbock area hospital for burn injuries. The only casualties in this incident were two dogs that were found deceased in one of the homes. The three people that were displaced from their home are receiving assistance form the Red Cross.
