Firefighters quickly controlled a fire that burned a garage and a car in the driveway but was stopped before it spread to the interior of the house on Sunday afternoon in Pleasanton, according to the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department.
The situation unfolded around 1:15 p.m. New Year’s Eve when crews from LPFD and Alameda County Fire Department were called out to a reported structure fire in the neighborhood on the 400 block of Junipero Street, several blocks off Sunol Boulevard.
Arriving firefighters observed heavy flames in a garage attached to a single-story house that had also spread to a vehicle that was parked just outside in the driveway, according to LPFD. “Crews quickly extinguished the fire in the garage and vehicle which prevented the fire from extending to the interior of the home,” officials said.
Firefighters extinguished the fire within about 20 minutes and stayed at the scene for several hours looking for hidden pockets of flames, according to LPFD.
Four people inside the house evacuated without injury, according to LPFD. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
