"We know there was fire in the attic when we got here. We don’t know if it started in the wall and worked it way to the attic but definitely, the attic was heavily charred with we arrived on scene," Starr said.
The homeowners were home at the time of the fire, and they were able to get out safely. Construction was being done on the home at the time of the fire, though Starr said it is unclear whether that is related to the cause.
The incident was considered a three-alarm fire, he said.

"If it’s a smaller home and we don’t have the heat we have today, we would handle that normally with 5 or 6 fire trucks on scene. Basically when we go into something like this, we triple that," he said.
Starr said no firefighters were injured, though some did experience heat exposure. They took breaks and were able to cool down, he said.
According to the Southlake Department of Public Safety, Randoll Mill was closed between West Dove and Mockingbird due to the fire response.
