DALLAS — Crews responded to a fire at the Lineage Warehouse in southern Dallas Tuesday afternoon.
Dallas Fire-Rescue responded to the two-story building in the 7700 block of Dynasty Drive shortly after 3 p.m. after receiving reports of black smoke billowing from the roof.
A second alarm was dispatched at 3:17 p.m., resulting in 40 to 45 firefighters responding to the scene. It took fire crews more than three hours to gain control of the fire. The blaze was officially put out around 6:48 p.m.
According to DFR, the cause of the fire was "accidental in nature" due to an electrical short involving the solar panel system located on the roof.
Officials said the roof partially collapsed but no one was hurt.
"The damage was mostly isolated to the roof, with a small area falling down into the building’s interior," DFR told WFAA.
There were about 10 to 15 employees inside the warehouse during the fire. They all managed to escape safely with no injuries, DFR said.
“Lineage’s top priority is the health and safety of our employees, partners, and the communities in which we live and operate. There were no injuries at our facility in Dallas, TX, and we thank the first responders who assisted in suppressing the fire. We continue to work closely with local officials and will provide updates as appropriate," a Lineage spokesperson said.
