AUSTIN, Texas — Firefighters with the Austin Fire Department (AFD) battled a large house fire in East Austin on Wednesday night and responded to another fire early Thursday morning.
AFD said it received calls of a house with heavy fire through the roof in the 4600 block of Craigwood Drive just after 9 p.m. Wednesday.
Crews arrived and located the fire burning through the roof. Firefighters then entered the structure to extinguish the fire.
The fire was declared extinguished just after 9:30 p.m., but AFD said it would still overhaul the structure to search for fire extension and hot spots.
Medics with Austin-Travis County EMS also responded to the scene, but there were no reports of injuries.
A few hours later, just after 2 a.m. Thursday, firefighters responded to a fire at an abandoned building on West 30th Street. That fire was also quickly put out.
