Arlington firefighters douse structure fire that grew to four-alarm response

Arlington firefighters worked to contain a structure fire that broke out at a building in the 2400 block of West Abram Street on Monday evening. 

A Facebook post from the Arlington Professional Fire Fighters says that crews were initially dispatched to the fire around 5:45 p.m., along with their members and members of the Pantego Firefighters Association.

Several businesses operate in the building where the fire broke out. Chopper video from the scene showed several crews on scene, working to contain the fire. 

A public information officer for Arlington Fire confirmed that a fourth alarm was called around 6:43 p.m.

In a follow-up press release sent overnight, Arlington Fire said the fire was brought under control around 7:40 p.m., with more than 80 crew members responding to the scene. While no civilians were injured, one firefighter was taken away for treatment of smoke inhalation and is in stable condition.

The cause of the fire remains unknown as of publication, per the department, and will be investigated once conditions allow. Crews were expected to remain on scene for several more hours to handle further fire suppression and overhaul operations.
