ANDERSON SPRINGS, Calif. – An early Thursday morning fire destroyed a home in Anderson Springs.
The fire was reported at 2:30 a.m. Thursday on Rose Anderson Road, according to South Lake County Fire Capt. Tony Allegra.
Nine fire units from South Lake County Fire and Cal Fire responded, Allegra said.
He said South Lake County Fire sent a combination of paid and volunteer staff along with resources that included an engine and a water tender from its Cobb station; a medic from Hidden Valley; and a water tender, utility pickup and rescue unit from Middletown. Battalion Chief Mike Wink also was on scene.
Cal Fire sent two engines from its Middletown station and one from the Kelsey-Cobb area, Allegra reported.
The home's occupants were not injured and were offered housing through Red Cross. Allegra said they turned down the assistance and said they would stay with friends.
Cal Fire sent two fire investigators from its St. Helena headquarters to try to determine the cause of the house fire, Allegra said.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, said Allegra, who added that, because of the heavy damage, the investigators may never find the cause.
