Fire Erupts At Boxer George Foreman's Home In Huffman

HUFFMAN, TX — A fire at the mansion of boxing legend George Foreman erupted inside the garage that caused some and water damage to some of the 40 automobiles stored inside, officials said.

The fire erupted at about 10 p.m. Sunday in the 29500 block of Martelly Way at Lake Common Way, officials reported.

When firefighters arrived, they found smoke coming from the back of the garage and determined a golf cart had sparked the blaze, according to the Harris County Fire Mashal's Office.

Don’t worry all is well, Dogs are barking and I don’t mean my feet.
Thanks to all the fire fighters. Huffman, Houston New caney. Atascosita. Al them guy and women
