Livermore Home Catches Fire for Second Time in Two Days

A home in the 2700 block of Kennedy St. caught fire for the second time in two days, according to Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Fire Battalion Chief Michael Miller. An alert neighbor saw the flames and called 911, according to Miller.

“On April 4, 2015, the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department responded to a report of a structure fire in the 2700 block of Kennedy St in the city of Livermore at 5:34 a.m.,” Miller said. “On their arrival, they found a single family home with heavy smoke and fire coming from the roof and attic area. First arriving crews completed a search and extinguished the fire in the attic. The fire was extinguished within the first 30 minutes. Crews remained on scene to overhaul the fire, salvage any personal belongings and complete the fire investigation.”

Miller said the cause of the fire is under investigation by the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department and Livermore Police Department.

“This home had a fire in the kitchen the night before,” Miller said. “The Alameda County Arson Task Force and District Attorney’s Office assisted with the extensive investigation.”
