According to initial reports, the fire was damaging power lines and transformers.

There were around five employed at the time of the fire, but they were able to get out of the building safely.

Multiple alarms were struck during two hours of units fighting the fire.

There is a neighboring Jewish Synagogue that does not appear to be impacted by the fire, but other neighboring buildings appear to be on fire, according to authorities.

Multiple agencies have sent firefighters and apparatus to help including Humble, Atascocita, Porter, Spring, Aldine, and HFD. Ladders are on both the front of the building and the block behind using aerials.

The roof of the building has collapsed on top of the fire, says Humble Fire Marshal's Office. They are still working to put out the flames and there are no air quality alerts, as of this writing.
