Firefighters contain Miramonte house fire to property with no wildland spread
A home exploded in flames early Monday near Pinehurst and close to Sequoia National Park, further taxing firefighters already battling the River Fire near Yosemite National Park.
The fire was reported to Cal Fire and Fresno County Sheriff’s deputies in the 48000 block of Looking Glass Lane about 7:30 a.m.
Cal Fire spokesman Dan Urias said the home and a one-half acre lot were “fully-involved” in the fire.
Urias said there was always the danger that the blaze could quickly spread to surrounding brush and trees, but firefighter were able to suppress the fire before that could happen.
The cause of the fire was not known.
