Construction Materials Catch Fire at Rangers' Globe Life Field; No One Injured

Construction materials at the Texas Rangers' new ballpark caught fire on Saturday afternoon, resulting in damage to the upper sections of the stadium.

Per the Arlington Fire Department, the fire has been contained, and no injuries were reported.

"These kinds of things can get out of control quickly," Arlington deputy fire chief Jonathan Ingols said, per Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. "It's a long, hard climb up there with all their gear, but thanks to partnership with Rangers and Manhattan Construction, we had practiced this."

Grant added no cause for the fire has been determined and it is still being investigated.
