An early morning structure fire in the Mendocino Coastal town of Fort Bragg was quickly knocked down but unfortunately scorched the living quarters of two tenants.
Fort Bragg Fire Department Chief Steve Orsi told us the fire began around 5:30 this morning on the 32000 block of Airport Road on the property of a local towing company. He described the structure as a large garage with one end of it converted into a housing area occupied by a man and woman.
The fire originated in the housing area and Chief Orsi said at this point the fire seems to be electrical in origin.
The fire prompted three Fort Bragg Fire Department engines to respond to the scene as well as an engine from CAL FIRE. Chief Orsi praised fire crews saying they did a “real good job with the initial knockdown.”
