House Under Renovation Goes Up In Flames
Cause Not Yet Known
POSTED: Tuesday, May 16, 2006
HOUSTON -- A home undergoing renovations was destroyed in a fire Tuesday, KPRC Local reported.
The house in the 4900 block of Valkeith Drive at Millbury caught fire at about 2 a.m.
It was empty because the previous owners had sold it a few weeks ago. The new homeowner was renovating it before putting it back on the market.
"We understand that the home was sold to a builder who was fixing it up, so it was having work done on it recently in the last couple of weeks," neighbor Richard Stetzer said.
A vehicle in the garage was also destroyed.
No one was injured.
The cause of the blaze is not yet known.
