GALVESTON, Texas — A warehouse fire that caught fire early Sunday morning is burning again tonight, more than 12 hours after it first ignited.
Multiple fire agencies were called out to the fire at Tour de Tents on 303 31st Street. It started at around 5:30 a.m. according to Galveston Fire Chief Charles Olsen.
Sunday night, we saw flames coming from the site again. Galveston Fire Chief Charles Olsen said that it had re-ignited, as fire was burning underneath a thick concrete slab in the rubble. He told I-45 Now that demolition equipment will need to be brought in to get to the fire underneath the concrete.
This morning when crews arrived on scene, flames were shooting through the roof of the warehouse. After getting the fire under control, the warehouse was declared a total loss. Olsen said it took crews about 2.5 hours to get the fire under control earlier.
There were no reports of any injuries and the cause of the fire is still under investigation, but Olsen said there was no reason to suspect foul play.
League City, Dickinson, Hitchcock, Jamaica Beach and Santa Fe fire departments were all called out to assist Galveston FD.
