'Extensive' Fire Damage Reported at Larkspur Home

LARKSPUR, CA- Firefighters Monday are investigating the cause of a weekend fire that overcame a Larkspur home while the residents are away on vacation.

According to Deputy Fire Chief Bob Sinnott, the blaze broke out around 10:50 p.m. Sunday on Wilson Way in Larkspur.

“Upon arrival, firefighters found the home almost completely involved in flames,” Sinnott reported.

With the help of engines from Corte Madera, Kentfield and Ross Valley, Larkspur firefighters extinguished the fire by about 11:50 p.m. after confirming no one was inside the home, according to fire officials.

“Due to the fast work by firefighters, there has been no damage to adjoining homes,” Sinnott said.

Neighbors alerted firefighters that the home’s residents were currently on vacation, fire officials said.

No injuries were reported in the fire, but the damage to the home was considered “extensive,” according to the fire chief.

The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
