ABILENE, Texas — A two-alarm fire caused an estimated $600,000 in damages to an Abilene home, the Abilene Fire Department said Thursday.
The AFD said at approximately 12:15 a.m. June 29, crews responded to a structure fire in the 7000 block of Lantana Avenue.
They arrived and found a single-family home with heavy fire involvement. An initial attack was made, but because of the growth of the fire and structural integrity, the crews changed to a defensive posture to battle the fire.
A second alarm was called for more personnel and resources to fight the fire, which was soon brought under control.
AFD said the occupants were able to self-evacuate without injury. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
