A female resident told KPRC 2 that her grandson woke her up to tell her the house was on fire. They said they heard their smoke alarms going off and smelled smoke, Houston fire said.
The fire then spread to an adjacent room and to the attic space of the house, Houston fire said.
Fire crews were able to contain the flames and put the fire out, but the house has suffered extensive fire smoke and water damage, Houston fire said.
Initial reports indicated it was possibly an electrical fire, which started at an outside electrical outlet before spreading inside the home, Houston fire said.
