Home deemed “complete loss” in Corral de Tierra fire
CORRAL DE TIERAA, Calif. (KION) -- Two people are displaced after their home burned last night in Corral de Tierra.
The fire broke out last night around 8 p.m. near Calle Viejo and Vista del Toro. While the building was unoccupied, crews managed to save animals from the home with the two residents being away from the home.
As the crews worked to contain the fire, neighbors were worried about the flames quickly spreading to their homes.
"Fire danger in California is clearly a huge concern, and I live up the hill," said neighbor Mark Cohan. "Once I realized everything was under control, my biggest concern was being above the fire, like, what? What could be coming my way?"
Luckily, multiple agencies came to the aid of Monterey Fire to fight the fire with the home being rendered a complete loss.
"We did have great response from some of our outlying agencies. Monterey City Fire did send an engine. CAL FIRE sent two engines. Presidio of Monterey sent a water tender, and seaside fire also sent an engine," Monterey Regional Fire Chief Matthew Lumudue said.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
