The Houston police and fire department are at the Consulate General of China responding to reports of documents being burned in the courtyard.
The Houston Police began receiving reports of documents being burned just after 8 p.m. local time at the consulate in Texas.
The police were not allowed to enter the building and were told that the Chinese occupants are being evicted from the building on Friday.
A video taken by a witness shows the papers being burned.
“A small amount of smoke could be seen and smelled from outside. Dozens of Houston first responders are at the scene,” Click2Houston reports.
The Houston Chronicle reported that at least five fire engines were on the scene and firefighters looked down at the fire from ladders. It was unclear by their press time if they had been allowed to enter the property.
