Harris County Fire Marshal's Office Seek Juveniles' Cooperation in Tank Farm Fire Probe
The Harris County Fire Marshal's Office is seeking to speak with two juveniles who were spotted running from a tank farm fire on Wednesday. The incident occurred when multiple calls for service were made regarding a tank fire near the intersection of Veterans Memorial and West Richey Road.
According to officials, the fire was largely contained by 4:20 pm without any reported injuries or health concerns related to smoke exposure. However, investigators are keenly interested in identifying the two juveniles seen fleeing the area, as one of them may require medical attention due to excessive water splashing on their face at a nearby retention pond.
While the cause of the fire remains under investigation, officials stress that the well-being of all parties involved is the top priority. The fire marshal's office has released footage of the juveniles in question, emphasizing their desire to speak with them as part of the ongoing probe.
Residents and passersby are being urged to come forward if they have any information regarding the identities or whereabouts of these two individuals. As authorities work to piece together what led to the tank farm fire, cooperation from the community is seen as crucial in ensuring a thorough and accurate investigation.

! So like 2 juveniles were spotted runnin away from this huge tank farm fire in Texas & now they're tryin to get their info 
. One of them might need some medical help cuz they got water splashed on their face 
... what even is that? Anyway, authorities are tryna figure out how the fire started so yeah, it's good they're askin for help from the community 
.
... I mean, who needs medical attention more than someone who's basically got water up their nose? And can you blame them for not wanting to get in trouble with a bunch of grown-ups in hazmat suits? It's not like they were just trying to escape a potentially hazardous situation... oh wait, that's exactly what happened 
. Anyway, I'm sure the authorities will have a very thorough and non-judgy investigation, totally free from any preconceived notions about "juvenile delinquency" 
.
so weird that 2 juveniles were caught on camera doing who knows what near the fire 
idk why they're running away, maybe they saw something or had an idea about how it started? 
anyway, hope those two are okay after getting splashed with water and all 
authorities gotta do their thing tho, investigation's a tough job
But at the same time, I get it, they might've been trying to escape or help in some way. The thing is, we don't know what happened yet and we need to figure that out 
.
, not making it a big deal about it, but also keeping an eye on people's safety. I mean, who hasn't done something stupid at some point? 
We all make mistakes and try to learn from them.
. Either way, I'm sure they'll get a chance to tell their side soon 
.
. I'm really worried about those two teens who were spotted running away - it's crazy how something like that could happen 
.
I hope these teens come forward and talk to the authorities - we need all the facts here 
. Anyway, it's good that authorities are keeping an open mind and prioritizing everyone's safety - fingers crossed nothing serious comes of this 
.
! And poor kid who got splashed with water from the retention pond, hope he's alright
