A condo fire in Pleasanton seriously damaged two units and displaced at least four residents in the early-morning hours Saturday, according to the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department.
The situation unfolded around 1 a.m. when firefighters received a call about a fire in a condominium complex in the 3800 block of Vineyard Avenue, according to deputy fire chief Joe Testa. The building features separate second- and third-floor units above ground-level garages.
After apparently igniting on one of the outdoor decks, the fire spread among two upper-floor units, according to Testa. In the multi-unit building, the third-story condos have a loft space that acts like a fourth story on the back side; the heaviest damage was concentrated to the two loft spaces.
Firefighters gained control of the fire within about 20 minutes, according to Testa. The blaze forced the entire building to be evacuated for over an hour.
The two damaged units were left uninhabitable, displacing at least four residents for the time being, Testa said. No injuries were reported among residents or firefighters.
The cause and source of the fire were still undetermined as of Saturday night, according to Testa. The incident is under joint investigation by LPFD and the Pleasanton Police Department.
