HOUSTON (KTRK) -- More than a dozen families are homeless after a two-alarm fire overnight in northwest Harris County. The fire started around 9pm Friday at the Timbers Apartments on Gulf Bank near Antoine.
The swift blaze spread to two buildings at the complex. Adults and children ran for their lives to escape the flames.
No one was hurt, but the fire damaged about 16 units.
The Houston Red Cross is helping assist families who lost their homes.
It's not yet clear how the fire started.
Houston police said two officers near the fire were forced to use a Taser on two men who attacked them.
The officers were blocking off streets near the fire when they saw four men fighting.
They said they went to break it up, and that's when two of the men attacked the officers who used their Tasers to subdue the suspects.
The officers were not hurt and the entire group was arrested.
