Probe of Orange, TX, House Fire Underway

    June 2, 2025
    A passerby went into the house to warn residents but was forced out by the intense flames.

    When a person saw a fully involved house in Orange early Saturday, they just didn't call 9-1-1.

    The witness ran into the house to alert residents but the intense flames forced a retreat.

    A relative later told Orange firefighters that the family was out of town, 12 News Now reported.

    The cause of the fire is under investigation.
