Fire Breaks Out at Novato Home

NOVATO, CA- A bedroom fire was quickly extinguished at a northwest Novato residence Thursday afternoon, a Novato Fire Protection District spokeswoman said.

The fire was reported around 1:35 p.m. at a two-story, single-family home in the 100 block of Manzano Court, district spokeswoman Sandy Wargo said.

A male resident used a garden hose to spray water at the second-story bedroom window from outside the residence, Wargo said. That helped firefighters contain and extinguish the blaze in the bedroom at the back of the house, she said.

More information about the fire was not immediately available, but crews did warn area residents of "lots of apparatus in the area," to to avoid it if possible.
