Overview
- Dallas Fire Rescue answered a blaze at the 2100 block of W Northwest Highway at a vacant former gentleman’s club and deployed multiple crews to the scene.
- Firefighters began an interior attack but pulled crews out when they found the fire burning in concealed void spaces and escalated the response to a second alarm.
- Crews used ladder trucks and ground lines in a defensive suppression effort and reported the blaze was mostly contained while they worked to extinguish remaining hotspots.
- No one was inside the building when the fire started and there have been no reported injuries, but officials say the structure suffered significant damage with flames through the roof line.
- Eastbound and westbound lanes on Loop 12 and Northwest Highway near the site were closed, officials asked drivers to avoid the area, and damage assessment and cleanup are ongoing with no cause yet reported.
