6 Displaced In Lake Elsinore Fire

LAKE ELSINORE, CA — Fire officials are investigating the cause of a house fire in Lake Elsinore this week that ripped through a local family's home, displacing them. According to the Riverside County Fire Department, the blaze broke out Monday around 4:49 p.m. at a residence in the 19000 block of Silverwood Drive. That's near Grand Avenue and Corydon Road.

"The first arriving engine company reported heavy smoke and fire coming from a second story window of a single family dwelling," fire officials said.

Though the fire was ultimately contained within about an hour to the home's laundry room and two bedrooms, it was red-tagged, officials reported.

"The American Red Cross was requested to assist with two adults and four children displaced by the fire," the agency said.

No one was hurt in the fire and damages were estimated at $150,000.
