Fire crews contained the blaze before it spread, keeping it to the living room of the unit and its content. The occupants of the home were outside of the unit at the time of emergency personnel’s arrival. 

There were no injuries and the cause of the fire is unknown.

The local Red Cross shelter has been notified to assist the displaced and a fire investigator is en route, stated Zaniboni.

Major structure fire, it must be big. It sounds like 6765, 6767, and 6769 Del Playa owned by Wolf and Assoc. The streets are being shut down.
