Two fire departments were called to a residential structure blaze north of Houston on Tuesday evening.
The home was on Rusty Road off Highway E. Smoke bellowed out of the structure as firefighters attacked the fire from the east and south sides of the home.
Firefighters from Houston and Raymondville were called, along with a Texas County Memorial Hospital ambulance due to the sweltering heat.
The Missouri State Fire Marshal office has been called to investigate.
