CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A fire on Saturday afternoon did significant damage to a Clearlake home.
The fire, which according to radio reports was dispatched at around 1 p.m., burned a home at the corner of Blue Gum Street and Walnut Avenue, according to Lake County Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Charlie Diener.
Diener said the stick-built home was about half-involved by the time firefighters arrived.
“We were able to stop the advance of the fire pretty much where it was when we got there,” he said.
While the home wasn't destroyed, he said it had smoke and water damage throughout.
One person was at home at the time, and got out safely. Diener said no injuries were reported.
Lake County Fire and Cal Fire sent units to the incident, Diener said.
Diener said the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
He said the family of four who lives at the home was displaced due to the fire, and are receiving assistance from Red Cross.
