Klein Fire Department Responds to Storage Facility Structure Fire

(Klein, TX. June 8, 2023) Harris County Emergency Services District 16, Klein Fire Department (“HCESD 16” or “KFD”) responded to a commercial storage unit fire in the evening hours of Wednesday, June 7, 2023, in the southwestern portion of the District. 

The fire at the Life Storage facility located at 22300 Tomball Pkwy, Houston, TX 77070 was quickly upgraded to a full box alarm. Cypress Creek Fire Department Engine 23 (CCFD) was first on arrival and began fire suppression efforts. KFD’s Tower 34 and Engine 36 arrived immediately after CCFD. KFD District 31 assumed command.

Operations were initially hindered by a lack of water supply in the immediate area. After the water supply was established, all crews worked for approximately two hours to get the incident under control.  

One Klein Firefighter was taken to the hospital for a minor medical emergency. He was treated and released shortly thereafter. A full recovery is expected.

Harris County ESD 13/ Tomball Fire Department and Harris County ESD 11 Mobile Healthcare also assisted KFD on scene. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Harris County Fire Marshal’s Office.
