CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — One Corpus Christi resident is being helped by the Red Cross Monday morning after escaping a housefire on the city's northwest side.
Fire crews responded to heavy flames and smoke coming from 1204 Main Drive just after 5 a.m.
The resident who escaped the house reported that the fire was in the attic.
Crews were able to put out the blaze in about 10-15 minutes, but it was later discovered that a live wire went down after the flames burned off the weather protector. AEP crews were on the way to make sure the scene was safe.
