Fire Incident Update – Pont Alba Apartments
At approximately 9:30 p.m. on July 25, the Bellaire Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire at the Pont Alba Apartments in Bellaire. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered a significant fire involving multiple apartment units and immediately initiated an aggressive fire attack while conducting search and rescue operations.
The fire ultimately impacted 16 apartment units. Fortunately, no residents were injured during the incident. Two firefighters were evaluated and treated for heat-related injuries and are expected to make a full recovery.
Due to the size and complexity of the incident, the Bellaire Fire Department was assisted by neighboring agencies through mutual aid. We extend our sincere appreciation to the Houston Fire Department, West University Place Fire Department, and the Southside Place Fire Department for their rapid response, personnel, and resources. Their professionalism and teamwork were instrumental in bringing the incident under control and ensuring the safety of our community.
The American Red Cross Texas Gulf Coast responded to the scene and provided immediate assistance to residents who were displaced by the fire.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Residents affected by the incident are encouraged to continue working with apartment management and the American Red Cross as recovery efforts move forward.
The Bellaire Fire Department remains committed to protecting the lives and property of our residents and is grateful for the continued support of our mutual aid partners, the American Red Cross, and the community we proudly serve.
