DATE: Friday, May 18, 2018 TIME OF ALARM: 2212 Hrs.
TYPE OF ALARM: Residential Structure Fire
LOCATION: 1667 Billeci Ave, Pittsburg
RESPONSE: BC8, BC5, T84, E87, E86, E81, E88, E82, BS31, M85 ASSISTING AGENCIES: Pittsburg PD, San Ramon Valley Fire, Red Cross, PG&E TOTAL FIRE PERSONNEL AT SCENE: 24 All concerned,
Units from Contra Costa County Fire Protection District responded to a residential structure fire this evening on Belleci Avenue. On arrival of our first units, we discovered a house that was about 50% involved in fire that had spread into the attic and the rear patio area. There were 3 BBQ style propane tanks that were also on fire and venting gas that was further threatening the adjacent buildings. Crews were able to mount an interior fire attack on the house, while subsequent crews were able to handle the exterior fire and safely extinguish the propane tanks.
There was no spread to other buildings, however the residence did suffer extensive damage. The occupants were able to safely exit the house and no civilians or firefighters were injured during this incident. Red Cross was called to help relocate the residents and a 100.00 SAVE Card (Supplying Aid to Victims of Emergency) was issued to further help the displaced residents with short term needs. The cause of the fire was determined to have started in the Kitchen from unattended cooking on the stove. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions regarding this incident.
