A late-night, two-alarm fire roared through an Oakland hills home Thursday, but was prevented from spreading into the tinder-dry hills by the quick response from firefighters.
A second alarm was called in at 10:59 p.m. More than 45 firefighters were able to gain control of the blaze at 11:36 p.m.
A firefighter suffered minor injuries while battling the blaze. The cause remained under investigation. The home was a complete loss. Hunt said at least one person was displaced and another person who lived in an accessory dwelling unit about 30 yards from the main residence could also be displaced.First published on September 2, 2022 / 6:56 AMThanks for reading CBS NEWS.Please enter valid email address to continue
