“It was a hard fought fire because of the construction technique of the home,” platoon chief Doug Marin said. “It’s referred to as balloon construction in the walls. The house was built in the early 1900’s so it spread quickly from the basement to the attic.”
No one was home at the time.
The cause of the blaze is being investigated.
