FORT WORTH, Texas — Hand sanitizer is said to be a contributing factor in a three-alarm fire in Fort Worth, Texas, Thursday evening, according to officials.
According to the Fort Worth Fire Department on Facebook said that Thursday evening at around 10:30 p.m., they received multiple calls about a fire at a warehouse. When crews arrived on the scene, they found heavy fire inside the building and outside. Crews decided to attack the fire from the outside of the building.
According to KDFW, the fire allegedly started in a dumpster before spreading to the warehouse.
Around 20 fire trucks and 85 firefighters helped to put out the fire, according to CBS Dallas. One firefighter was taken to the hospital for an evaluation but no serious injuries were reported.
The fire grew fast and burned for multiple hours, completely gutting the warehouse, according to KDFW.
