Firefighters from the Susanville Fire Department, along with support from a host of local agencies, were dispatched to an early morning fire Wednesday that threatened surrounding homes and completely destroyed a garage and a motor home on Plum Street.
At around 4:00a.m., according to details provided by the SFD, Engine 621 and automatic aid from Cal-FIRE and mutual Aid from the CCC Fire Department responded to 804 Cypress Avenue for a reported structure fire.
“E621 from the Susanville Fire Department arrived on scene and found a detached garage and a motor home fully involved, threatening two adjacent homes,” explains SFD Fire Captain Kalvn McFarland.
“Fire crews made an aggressive fire attack and contained the fire to the garage and motor home.”
Both the garage and the RV were a total loss according to McFarland, and the two adjacent homes sustained minor heat and smoke damage.
“The fire was human caused and started in the garage.”
