A house fire broke out early Sunday morning in Houston, spreading damage to at least two neighboring homes, according to the Houston Fire Department.

Houston Fire Department (HFD) crews responded to the 2800 block of Terry Street at approximately 5:30 a.m. on Oct. 18, 2026. Firefighters appeared to have the flames mostly under control by 6 a.m., roughly 20 minutes after crews arrived on scene.

HFD confirmed the home was vacant at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported. Both homes neighboring the original structure also sustained damage from the blaze. Crews remained on scene until approximately 8:15 a.m. Investigators are still working to determine the cause of the fire.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

A truck fire that ended in an explosion Friday afternoon rattled businesses along Billings’ West End, sending employees to evacuate customers as flames engulfed an asphalt-mixing trailer near 2950 King Avenue West.

The explosion damaged the doors at Bullfrog Spas, where sales representative Taylor Bromgard watched the fire unfold and recorded video of the incident. No injuries were reported.

“It was pretty slow of a day to start and then ramped up from zero to a hundred pretty quick,” he said.

Bromgard said he looked up from his desk and noticed what he initially thought was mist outside.

“I realized underneath that what I thought was mist was actually flames,” Bromgard said.

He grabbed his phone to record the fire and considered getting a hose to try to extinguish it, but the flames spread too quickly.

VIDEO/PHOTOS: early-morning fire left a beloved restaurant heavily damaged, and left multiple neighboring businesses closed for the day Saturday in Edmonds’ Westgate neighborhood.At least 17 units from South County and Shoreline fire departments responded at about 5:45 a.m. to reports of smoke at the Westgate Village shopping plaza.

South County says that crew members did not see flames from the street, but noticed condensation on the windows of Gyro Makers restaurant, and proceeded inside. There they encountered heavy smoke and an active fire inside the unoccupied restaurant. They knocked down the main body of the fire in less than 10 minutes, while others worked to keep it from spreading to nearby businesses.

“I went out on my balcony, and saw bellowing smoke coming out of the building,” said Rosemary Lavery, who began filming on her phone after she woke up for work, “I noted also the firefighters on the roof above the restaurant trying to break through or sawing [into it],” she added.

Sen. Patty Murray visited the Colville Tribes as recovery continued after wildfires burned on the tribe’s reservation this summer. Murray visited Nespelem and toured fire-damaged areas. She also met with the Colville Business Council to discuss the tribe’s needs and concerns.

The Kaiser Canyon and Modrite fires destroyed at least 33 homes. They also affected 150 cultural sites. The fires damaged forest land that supports the tribe’s forestry program. That program is a source of revenue and jobs. Murray pointed to the recovery effort in a statement. “There is not a single dollar i won’t pursue if it means helping communities across the state recover and rebuild from these devastating fires,” Murray said.
