Two homes caught fire Thursday around 2:51 p.m. As firefighters arrived, the fence between the two homes was completely on fire and the side of the two story home on the left was well involved. The second home (one story), caught fire and burned into the attic.
There was an initial report that victims may have been in the home. The first in engine crew executed a search of the home and no one was found.
In the end, the two story home experienced a partial roof collapse while firefighters were inside. Firefighters pulled out and went into defensive mode to save the one story home and protect other surrounding exposures. The two story was a total loss and the one story home had fire damage in the attic and back bedroom as well as contents.
SacCity Firefighters were on scene in less than five minutes from the time of the call. Deputy Fire Chief Lloyd Ogan stated that weather definantly played a factor with the Delta Breeze picking up.
In a press release, Acting Battalion Chief, Jim Doucette stated, "There were no reported injuries and Sacramento Fire Department Investigators are on scene trying to determine the cause of the blaze. Additional Firefighters from Sacramento Metro and Cosumnes Fire also responded." A total of 75 firefighters and 4 command staff were engaged on this incident.

Good job on the reponse time fire fighters! It probably could have been a lot worse being that those pocket homes are really close togeteher in some areas. I just want everyone to know that my company has GE smoke detectors that notify the fire department when they go off. These can be incorporated into your security system and I can do the upgrade at no cost for the equipment or installation. Plus,insurance companies will give you an additional discount for being hooked up to the fire department becasue your home is at less risk for them.
