As investigators point at a cause in a nightclub fire, the club's management is disputing HFD's estimation of 1,000 guests evacuating the building at the time.
HOUSTON, Texas -- There are new details in the cause of a fire at a southwest Houston nightclub that happened early Saturday morning.However, there are still questions about how many people were actually inside the building at the 8300 block of Southwest Freeway when the fire broke out."They called me around one or two in the morning to let me know exactly what was going on," says Williams.
" took us awhile to get here," said Mo Davis with HFD."There were so many people. Probably 1,000 to 1,500 people trying to exit.""Not at all. He knows they can't allow, they can't fit 1500, 1,000 people. They can't fit," said Williams. HFD investigators said the fire was accidentally caused by an"unspecified electrical malfunction, possibly related to the nightclub's speaker system".
"I guess he had too many things on one wall in one place. Too many speakers, too much equipment in one area because it was an actual concert," said Tracey.Four more people were found behind the bar trying to escape the smoke and were given oxygen.Williams says the only damage to club is smoke and water damage inside the building.ABC13 is waiting on the fire marshal's response on the number of people stated to be inside the club.
