Westminster Structure Fire

Earlier this evening, crews responded to multiple reports of a structure fire in Westminster. Many callers reported seeing a large column of smoke from the freeway.

When Engine 66 arrived, they found a two-story home with a patio cover on fire, with flames already extending into the residence. Crews quickly deployed hose lines and coordinated an aggressive attack on both the exterior patio fire and the interior of the home.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported. The quick knockdown stopped the fire’s spread, saving a majority of the home and countless family belongings.
