| Fire Department: Rollover crash sparks car fire that destroys warehouse in northwest Houston VIDEO: A rollover crash involving a single vehicle sparked a car fire that spread to a warehouse, according to the Houston Fire Department. The fire started a little before 10 p.m. Monday at a warehouse on Mitchelldale Street in northwest Houston. Fire officials say they were initially responding to the single-car crash, but when they arrived, the car was engulfed in flames. The car was so close to the building that it then spread to a warehouse full of Styrofoam and construction materials. Fire crews say the driver of the vehicle was able to get herself out of the vehicle. She was taken to the hospital as a precaution and no update on her condition or any injuries is available at this time. No hazardous materials were detected in the smoke or runoff by hazmat crews. Officials didn't say what caused the crash. KHOU-TV CBS 11 HOUSTON Two-alarm fire damages three homes in east Austin; no one hurt VIDEO: Hot weather late Monday night led Austin Fire crews to call a second alarm while fighting a fire at a home under construction in east Austin. Fire crews arrived at the home just before 10:25 p.m. on East Fourth Street between Pedernales and San Saba streets in the Holly neighborhood. The Austin Fire Department said crews were able to put the fire out at 10:50 p.m. According to AFD, the fire briefly spread to the outside of two nearby occupied homes, but crews were able to quickly put out those fires. Austin Fire said the people inside those homes were able to make it outside safely by the time fire crews arrived. No one was hurt. The cause remains under investigation. AFD said crews called for a second alarm due to the heat and the fact the fire briefly spread to the two other homes. KXAN-TV NBC 36 AUSTIN Firefighting grandma: Victoria County volunteer was certified just shy of her 62nd birthday PHOTOS: Sometimes no news is good news. For Toni Stithem, a Victoria County volunteer firefighter, the relatively quiet Fourth of July weekend was a good thing. Stithem was one of about a dozen firefighters assigned to fire watch at Patriot Park during the evening of July 4. They stood by just in case any fires broke out. Nothing much happened, Stithem said. Luckily, no fires at Patriot Park meant no story to break — but, there is a story worth telling about Stithem. The 62-year-old mother of four and grandmother of three, joined the Victoria County Volunteer Fire Department in 2017, ostensibly to set up and manage a county fire department Facebook account. Born and raised in a small town, Earlysville, in the middle of Virginia, Stithem moved to Victoria when she married David Stithem, of Victoria, more than 40 years ago.

| VIDEO: Massive Fire Decimates Multi-Million Dollar Property in Massachusetts A massive fire destroyed a multi-million dollar home in Hingham, Massachusetts, on Monday afternoon. The fire was reported shortly before 1 p.m. on Mann Street. Video from nearby showed heavy flames and smoke that could be seen for miles around. According to Zillow, the home was sold on June 10 for $3.2 million. As of Monday afternoon all that remained of the building was its chimney. A nanny and young boy were reportedly at home when the fire broke out, and a painter was also doing work on the second floor. Everyone made it out of the building safely. Neighbors said the family that lives in the home moved in just two weeks ago. One family that lives across the street said they have holes in their roof from wind-blown embers and their fence briefly caught fire.
