Moraga-Orinda Fire District firefighters put out an early morning, single-alarm blaze at a residence on Corte Amigos in Moraga July 14. The fire was contained to two rooms and extinguished in 15 minutes.
"The homeowners were asleep and thanks to their smoke detector, everyone got out safely," Fire Chief Stephen Healy said.
The fire was less than a mile away from the June 19 vegetation fire along the hillside above Campolindo High School. "That fire was an accident, likely caused by human activity related to work on the high-tension wires, through the fire is still under investigation," Healy said. - Nick Marnell
