“(The fire) took the garage and workshop area and two trucks,” said Desert Hills Fire Chief Mat Espinoza. “One was a historic truck that was being rebuilt, and the other one was a new-model Chevy. The fire also got into the house, which was a two-story A-frame made of stone structure.”
Desert Hills firefighters arrived on scene three minutes after they were dispatched to find a garage and an overhead deck fully involved in fire, according to a prepared statement issued by the department. One vehicle inside the garage, and another parked alongside the garage also was on fire.
The homeowner was reportedly within the smoke-filled home, searching for his cat. Firefighters entered the residence, located the homeowner and evacuated him from the home, DH fire officials said.
