Overview
- Dallas Fire-Rescue crews battled a house fire on the 4600 block of Wadsworth Drive that Sunday morning produced flames through the roof and burned for about two hours before being declared out.
- Two firefighters suffered non-life-threatening lower-extremity burns at the Wadsworth scene and were taken to a local hospital with one expected to be released the same day and the other admitted for further treatment.
- Three residents who were not home when the Wadsworth fire began were displaced and were referred to the American Red Cross for shelter and assistance.
- A separate evening fire at 6931 Echo Bluff Drive spread to 6933 Echo Bluff Drive, triggered a second-alarm response, led crews to resuscitate a cat, and sent one firefighter to the hospital with a non-life-threatening upper-extremity injury.
- Both incidents remain under active investigation and highlight firefighter risk and the operational strain that can result when multiple serious residential fires occur on the same day.
