COBB, Calif. – A Friday evening fire damaged a Cobb home but firefighters were able to contain the fire before the structure was destroyed.


The fire was reported at 6:44 p.m. Friday, July 15, according to a Saturday report from Cal Fire Battalion Chief Greg Bertelli.


South Lake County Fire Protection District and Cal Fire responded to the fire, which was located on Cobb Boulevard, according to Bertelli.

Bertelli said there were no injuries.
