LUCERNE, Calif. – A Saturday night fire burned a home in Lucerne.
The fire in the 6200 block of Roland Drive was first reported just before 7:45 p.m. Saturday, according to scanner traffic.
The first Northshore Fire units to arrive within five minutes of dispatch reported finding heavy smoke and fire showing from the structure.
Power lines also were reported to be down, which made the firefighting effort more challenging, according to radio reports.
The fire was reported to have been knocked down just after 8:15 p.m., with mop up taking place over several hours afterward.
Radio reports indicated mop up was made more difficult because of the downed power lines. Pacific Gas and Electric was requested to report to the scene.
The structure appeared to be a total loss.
Reports at the scene on Saturday night indicated the fire may have originated in the kitchen.
