Six Displaced in Daly City Fire Friday, Suspected Cause Found

DALY CITY, CA – A one-alarm fire in a two-story single family home in Daly City displaced six residents early Friday morning, North County Fire Authority officials said.

Firefighters responded at 12:54 a.m. to 20 Marshall Way where they found smoke coming from the roof and front dining room windows of the home.

Firefighters entered the home and found the fire burning in the kitchen after a pot had been left unattended on the stove.

The fire got into the hood above the stove and eventually into the attic where it broke through the roof, fire inspector Clyde Preston said.

Crews kept the fire from spreading beyond those areas, but "there was a lot of deep charring in the attic" and smoke spread throughout the home, Preston said.

No one was injured. The displaced residents made their own arrangements for temporary housing. Preston said it was "very emotional and difficult for the family."
