Personnel from the City of Houston and Houston Rural fire departments responded to a house fire on West Highway 17 about 3 p.m. Tuesday.
City of Houston Fire Chief Robbie Smith said the blaze began at an electrical junction box in the home’s attic.
Smith said some insulation and other material burned, but responders were able to douse the flames before any major damage was done to the home.
Two Houston Police Department officers diverted traffic onto surface streets while fire department workers tended to the situation.
