NICE, Calif. – A Northshore home sustained some damage in a fire that broke out on a patio late Friday night, but was saved through the efforts of local firefighters.
The fire, first reported just before 11:30 p.m. Friday, occurred at 7185 Liberty St. in Nice.
Northshore Fire Battalion Chief Mike Ciancio said the fire started on a detached patio next to a mobile home.
“The owners came home to find the fire,” he said.
Ciancio said the fire did some damage to the mobile home, taking out a window and part of a wall. He did not have an estimate of total damage.
The fire did not get into nearby vegetation, and firefighters prevented it from reaching other homes on either side of it, Ciancio said.
Additional units from Cal Fire and Lakeport Fire had been dispatched to the fire, but were canceled before arrival. One Cal Fire unit that arrived early took a report, Ciancio said.
Reports from the scene indicated the fire was under control within about a half hour, and fully contained about an hour after dispatch.
“The crews did a very good job of knocking it down quickly before it extended into the mobile home any more than it already had,” said Ciancio.
About an hour of mop up was needed before firefighters cleared the scene, Ciancio said.
