HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — At least five people, including a three-year-old, were taken to the hospital after a fire broke out at a home in northwest Harris County overnight, according to the northwest Volunteer Fire Department.
It happened in the 6800 block of Redding Springs Lane just after 3 a.m.
Officials said crews were dispatched to the home and were met with neighbors telling them that there were people in the house.
