The Houston Fire Department is responding to a Houston fire reported as a warehouse fire in the East End near Manchester and Kellogg Street. Smoke was visible from nearby highways, and crews moved in with six engine companies and three ladder trucks.
No injuries have been reported. A separate engine was dispatched to keep the fire from moving beyond the tree line, where a neighborhood sits on the other side.
Manchester and Kellogg Street
Houston Transtar cameras from nearby highways showed smoke billowing into the air as firefighters worked at the scene. The response scale points to a fire large enough to require both engine and ladder coverage, with the ladder trucks positioned to reach upper levels and the engines supplying water and support.
A witness from a nearby business said the fire appeared to be burning at a metal recycling facility. That detail has not been settled in the report, and the exact type of warehouse or facility involved is still the issue shaping how crews judge what may be inside and how far they need to hold the fire back.

The neighborhood next to the tree line is the main concern for nearby residents and workers watching from the area. The engine sent to protect that edge gives crews a line to keep the fire from crossing into the space behind it while the larger response stays focused on the warehouse itself.
