Four story office building heavily involved on the west side this evening. I think Tunnels-to-Towers Foundation has a new facility just north of that.
Also, heavy line of thunder storms with hail inbound about sixty miles northwest.

Four engines and Tower 69 still operating here. This location is at the west end of Chinatown on Bellaire Blvd and just west of Engine/Rescue 10 on Corporate Dr. It's a long run for the second and third alarm companies.
While this was going on last night, HFD got a call for an airplane crash on Fidelity Dr up the street from Engine/Rescue 42 on the east side. Luckily, it was only a light plane who had to put down on a city street in an emergency.
At midnight HFD had a working fire in an apartment about a mile south of the third alarm requiring a large evacuation. Six hours after that this morning and two miles east on the SW Freeway, Engine /Ladder 28 (and the Chief) had a six car accident requiring a large EMS response. The bad weather stayed north of the city.
