The Galveston Historical Foundation had planned a fire safety session on Wednesday for people with historic homes.

However, the foundation postponed it in observance of the passing of one of the owners of the George Ball House, it said on a Facebook post. ABC13 has reached out to UTMB Health for further confirmation.

That meeting has been postponed to next Tuesday, April 29, at 5:30 p.m. and Wednesday, April 30, at noon. The meetings will be held at the Wortham Auditorium inside the Rosenberg Library at 2310 Sealy Avenue.
