The Galveston Fire Department has contained the large warehouse fire that began Wednesday evening at Texas Gulf Seafood near 7th Street and Wharf Road.

Firefighters responded at approximately 8:40 p.m. to find the building fully engulfed in flames. Crews safely rescued three people and one dog from the structure. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

With assistance from fire departments across Galveston County and the Port of Houston, firefighters worked through the night to bring the fire under control. While residents may continue to see smoke in the area today as the structure smolders, crews will remain on scene to monitor conditions and ensure the fire stays contained.

The Galveston Fire Marshal's Office will investigate the cause of the fire.

We extend our sincere gratitude to every agency that responded. This successful response is a testament to the teamwork, professionalism, and dedication of our regional public safety partners.

Thank you to our firefighters and mutual aid partners for their tireless work protecting our community.
