A house on Avenue H behind Wichita Falls High School suffered damage in a Wednesday morning fire. The Wichita Falls Fire Department responded to the 2100 block of Avenue H around 7:40 a.m. Wednesday, April 17, for a structure fire. Firefighters observed flames and smoke coming from the second story windows of the house. The fire department was able to get the fire under control and confirmed that no people were inside the residence. Assistant Fire Marshal Jody Ashlock said the fire is believed to have started in a room at the top of the stairs on the south side of the house. Lieutenant Ashlock said the vacant house showed signs of inhabitants staying there. Furniture was found upstairs, including mattresses, chairs and sleeping bags, and trash was found all over the inside of the house.
