Smoked brisket causes house fire in north Houston
A man's smoked brisket is to blame Monday for a heavy fire that ignited in the patio of a north Houston home.
Houston Fire Department Chief Deputy Blake White said responders arrived on the scene at the 200 block of Noras Lane around 3 a.m. to find a one-story home heavily inundated with fire and smoke.
The fire spread to the trailer in the back of the home, he said.
According to the homeowner, the family was smoking a brisket overnight on the deck when it somehow caught fire, White said.
Everyone was able to exit the home safely and there were no reported injuries
