First-arriving units encountered heavy smoke coming from the rear of the apartment complex.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Fire crews contained and extinguished the fire before it could extend into the apartment building. The fire was contained to a patch of grass and a fence line, preventing further damage to the structure and surrounding residences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Investigators with the Fire Marshal\u2019s Office looked at surveillance footage from the area. The video appears to show an individual intentionally igniting the grass before fleeing the scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The incident is under investigation. Anyone with information regarding this incident can contact the Fire Marshal\u2019s Office at 806-775-2646 or fireprevention@mylubbock.us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2026 KCBD.
