LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Northshore Fire Protection District firefighters responded to two separate fires on Sunday morning and Monday afternoon that displaced residents.
At 9:15 a.m. Sunday, firefighters were dispatched to a structure fire at 4178 Country Club in Lucerne, according to Northshore Fire Chief Jay Beristianos.
The fire occurred in a modular home. The home's sheetrock helped slow the spread of the fire, Beristianos said.
The fire destroyed a room and its contents, and resulted in smoke damage throughout the rest of the house, displacing its five residents, Beristianos said.
The fire killed a dog, but two to three puppies were saved, he added.
Beristianos said the fire is being attributed to an electrical issue.
Then, on Monday at around 3 p.m., Northshore Fire personnel responded to Everglade Boulevard in Clearlake Oaks on the report of a fire there, according to radio reports.
Beristianos said units arriving on scene found a travel trailer – parked in the front yard of a home – that was on fire.
Radio reports indicated that firefighters quickly knocked down the fire, which Beristianos said destroyed the trailer.
A young man was living in the trailer, Beristianos said.
Units at scene called for Red Cross to assist the trailer's resident with clothing and other needs, according to scanner traffic.
