Two Tower District homes heavily damaged in 3-alarm fire in Fresno
A three-alarm fire heavily damaged two homes Thursday morning in Fresno’s Tower District and displaced at least three people.
Battalion Chief Tim Fulmer said the blaze was reported at 5:30 a.m. in the 1300 block of North Wilson Avenue. The fire quickly jumped from one home to a house next door.
Fulmer said arriving firefighters were able to keep the flames from spreading to adjacent homes, a task made more difficult because of a strong breeze. Firefighter equipment was blocking Wilson between McKinley and Olive avenues.
The cause of the fire was investigation.
