A fire early Tuesday morning claimed a two-story building in central Austin. The Austin Fire Department said it was likely the result of people inside trying to stay warm, and businesses nearby said they were not surprised as squatters are in and out of the building every day.
Austin Mayor Kirk Watson, Travis County Judge Andy Brown and Director of Homeland Security and Emergency Management Ken Snipes will discuss the local government's response at 5:30 p.m. We will stream the press conference live in this story.
