House Fire Damages Redlands Home

REDLANDS, CA — A structure fire broke out inside a home Sunday night on the 900 block of East Brockton Avenue, causing significant damage and causing one woman to be treated for smoke inhalation.

Firefighters responded to the fire just before 9:30 p.m. Sunday, and found heavy smoke and fire coming from the rear of the home, according to the Redlands Fire Department.

A family inside the home escaped safely before firefighters arrived, but one woman complained of possible smoke inhalation. She was treated at the scene and declined to be hospitalized, the fire department said Monday.

With help from the San Bernardino County Fire department, fire crews extinguished the fire in about 25 minutes and stayed at the scene for another two hours and 45 minutes.

Damage to the home was estimated at $250,000, with another $35,000 in damage to the home's contents, the fire department said. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
