Fire in Attic Causes $300,000 Damage
From Times Staff Reports
Firefighters battled high winds and temperatures Wednesday to extinguish an attic blaze before it could spread to the wood shake roofs of two nearby homes.
Those homes, in the 10 block of Rock Wren, were “pummeled by embers,” but firefighters were able to save them, said Capt. Stephen Miller, Orange County Fire Authority spokesman. The fire, which broke out about 3 p.m., caused about $300,000 in damage, Miller said.
The fire was ruled accidental and caused by an electrical event in the attic, he said.
