Longview, Texas - Late Sunday night, November 2, 2025, Longview firefighters responded to a large commercial structure fire at 732 S. Green Street.
Crews were dispatched at approximately 11:29 p.m. and arrived to find a vacant warehouse fully involved, with heavy flames and smoke showing through the roof. Battalion Chief 1 quickly confirmed the structure was already collapsing, creating dangerous conditions for firefighters on scene.

Once the fire was contained, crews conducted a search and confirmed no occupants were inside. The estimated damage to the property is about $72,740. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Longview Fire Department at 903-237-1119 or Gregg County Crime Stoppers at 903-236-7867.
