Cold weather fires keep HFD busy

Posted: Updated:
HOUSTON (FOX 26) -

Firefighters are staying busy, scrambling all over the city to put out cold weather-related fires.

Around 9:30 p.m. Thursday, the Walmart on 290 and Tidwell had to be evacuated.  One of the heaters in front of the store overheated and caught fire.

About three hours later, crews put out a fire at a northwest Houston apartment complex.  An elderly woman's space heater malfunctioned.  They helped her escape safely.

And in Southwest Houston, a space heater inside a mobile home caught fire early Friday morning.  HFD put out the fire.  No one was hurt.
