TEMPLE, Texas (KXXV) — Temple Fire and Rescue responded to two fires reported Monday morning. Officials believe both were caused by storms.
The first fire on Emerald Gate Dr. was reported around 7:30 a.m. with smoke seen coming from the home's attic. A resident said they had seen a spark just before the smoke started.
Less than thirty minutes later fire crews were dispatched to Meiomi Dr., where a "significant amount of smoke" was coming from the attic of a townhome. Everyone made it out safely, but five people and the family pet were displaced.
