Dallas Fire Department Calls In Extra Help To Battle House Fire As Area Temperatures Rise

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) -- Dallas firefighters battled intense flames and the heat as they fought a three-alarm house fire in North Dallas Tuesday afternoon.

Heavy flames and smoke were shooting from the roof as crews first arrived on scene in the 17000 block of Woods Edge Drive near Misty Lake Crossing just after noon.

No reports of injuries, but DFR did call for extra crews because of the flames and the heat.

No word yet what might have caused the fire.

An elderly couple inside escaped uninjured with their two dogs after noticing the fire in the back of the home which is valued at $1.5 million.

Firefighters worked to keep flames from spreading to adjacent homes in the gated community.
