Fire has again destroyed housing and uprooted families on 5800 DeGiverville.
A grill that was not fully out started the blaze.
The resident of the first house used oxygen and had several tanks.
The tanks exploded when the fire reached them, strengthening it.
The fire moved into the second floor of the house next door. That residence was less heavily damaged but was affected by smoke and the water used by firefighters to put out the fire. Brandon Sterling, SDCC Director, set up a fund to help the victims.
The second house is salvageable but needs a lot of work. Laurel Management Co. has found an apartment for that family to occupy while their home is repaired. Given the extent of the fire, it is fortunate that there was no loss of life.
