Update: Crews Extinguish House Fire Near Millville

Cal-Fire responded Tuesday morning for a structure fire on South Cow Creek Road just off Highway 44 east of Millville. The call initially came in to 9-1-1 dispatchers as a home invasion robbery in progress a few minutes after 6AM. Other calls were then received from neighbors reporting possible explosions and a fire that was well involved in the attached garage of the house. All the home’s occupants reportedly made it out safely. Crews minimized the spread of the fire to living quarters above and adjacent to the garage. The home invasion reports apparently turned out to be mistaken.
