A fire at a Deluxe Inn hotel injured two people in Third Ward<\/a> overnight, according to the Houston Fire Department.<\/p>\n

Houston firefighters responded to the hotel at 2613 Truxillo Street, where a fire damaged 20 units shortly after midnight Monday, authorities said. They found two victims who evacuated the building – one was in critical condition with major burns and smoke inhalation, and the other was stable with smoke inhalation and some burns, Deputy Chief Bryan Sky-Eagle said.<\/p>\n

A call first reported the fire at 12:01 a.m., and fire crews arrived at the scene in three to four minutes, Sky-Eagle said.<\/p>\n

“That fast response saved a lot of damage,” he\u00a0said in a briefing that OnScene TV filmed. “This situation could have been a lot worse.”<\/p>\n

Arson investigators responded to the scene with accelerant canines to investigate the cause, Sky-Eagle said. He added that the rooms’ windows were six feet high, which made it harder to get out.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0number of occupants inside the 20 impacted units was unknown, but Sky-Eagle said HFD contacted the American Red Cross<\/a> to assist.<\/p>\n
