Fire in NW Houston Condo


About 60 Houston firefighters were needed to douse the heavy flames that gutted part of a northwest Houston condominium building Monday night.
The blaze erupted about 9 p.m. at the Creekmont Forest condominiums in the 5600 block of Birchmont, near Antoine and Pinemont, Houston Fire Department officials said.


The layout of the complex caused some confusion for the firefighters. At one point, they had to back out and make another attempt to get at the fire after coming up against a wall that was in their path, HFD officials said.

There were no reports of any injuries, officials said.
At least two units and the attic were heavily damaged.


The fire was brought under control within about 45 minutes. HFD arson officers will conduct an investigation to determine the cause.
