HFD takes no chances First-person accounts of crimes and solutions from Leader-area social media at Heights Tower ďŹ re It turned out to be only a small fire in an apartment kitchen March 6, but because that kitchen was in a high-rise full of senior citizens and disabled, some with oxygen supplies, the call got special attention. The call from the fourth floor of the Heights House, 1950 Heights Blvd., came into the Houston Fire Department at 3:32 p.m. and was quickly elevated to two alarms – which meant 110 firefighters sped to the scene along with ambulances (From Facebook) and other rescue vehicles. They made quick work of the took o on foot down the gully headed towards TC Jester. He was not caught. Based on his insurance card and other things found in fire, but smoke sent one man to the VA Hospital for observation the car, it doesn’t look like he lives in the neighborhood. and damaged several apartments Please, please be careful out there. There is currently no barricade indicating that OF is not a through street, but 311 has been whose residents were moved to other units until theirs could be notiďŹ ed. cleaned up.

From the Heights
This still from a video surveillance camera shows a thief taking two packages from a porch in the 1100 block of Rutland in the Heights.
So, close friends of mine had 2 packages stolen o their porch on Rutland yesterday afternoon around 4:30. They posted the video of the theft on the Inner Loop Houston Crime Alerts page, but here is a still photo of the jerk-- who took a kids’ board game and ďŹ sh tank supplies, which I am sure he didn’t need and probably ended up in the trash somewhere. March 8
Response from a neighbor: Since this has been happening I’ve been having any packages shipped by Fed Ex sent to the Fed Ex store on Washington since the Fed Ex guy leaves them in the most visible place but the US postal guy will actually come in the wooden fence and leave packages at the door & knock, it pays to know your mailman if possible.
From Oak Forest Time to get a locking gas caps....my husband’s gas was apparently siphoned out last night...had 3/4 tank last night in a very large Ford Van and low fuel light was on this morning on the way to work. Going to see if my car got hit too. We live on Chantilly right o Rosslyn...crap, gas is expensive and I never thought about this happening. March 11 Anyone wondering why there were cops and wreckers at the dead end of Oak Forest? A man in a BMW came ying down OF, slammed into one of our cars parked on the street knocking it into the bottom of the gully. His car ďŹ nally came to a stop against the foot bridge into Ella Lee which is now very damaged. The driver
