INCIDENT DESCRIPTION

  Early Morning Blaze Damages Building Used For Storage

Dallas Firefighters worked quickly to extinguish an early morning fire in the 200 block of Sunset Avenue. The initial responding companies notified Dallas Fire-Rescue dispatchers that there was “fire coming out of the roof” of the 6,000 square foot building. The Incident Commander immediately requested additional alarms and support staff to battle the intense blaze. Fire Investigators have not determined the cause of the fire at this time.
