South Chico House Fire

When a home located along E. 12th St. near Locust St. caught on fire, we quickly went out to cover it. All of us photographers were out there on scene. The day was fairly quiet until the fire broke out. Flames quickly blasted through the roof as firefighters knocked down the fire. Luckily no one was injured at the time. There has been a lot of residential fires recently. This is a pattern I hope slows down as we head into the county fire season.
