BEAUMONT, Texas — Beaumont firefighters spent Sunday night battling a two alarm blaze at an abandoned electrical warehouse not far from MLK Pkwy and Calder Ave.
Firefighters were called to the fire at the former West Buford Electrical Supply in the 800 block of Gulf St. just before 8 p.m. according to Beaumont Fire Chief Earl White.
The building, a block west of MLK Pkwy at the corner of Gulf St. and Harrison Ave, is a total loss according to White.
Eight fire engines and two ladder trucks responded to what the fire chief described as a "big fire."
At least one firefighter was sent to a Beaumont hospital to be checked out because of the heat White told 12News.
The fire department had electricity cut off in the area of the fire White said.
