The Ballinger Fire Department yesterday stated that the Saturday night fire in downtown Ballinger occurred in a storage building located near an alleyway that connected two structures owned by Ballinger Home Health.
Multiple mutual aid departments, including several volunteer fire departments from surrounding communities, fought the blaze and contained the fire to the storage building. Their joint effort saved adjacent structures as well as 20-plus cars parked in a nearby parking garage.
Authorities believe the building was empty at the time and while no injuries were reported, surrounding buildings were evacuated as a safety precaution.
