At 12:13 am Thursday morning, units from the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District responded to a reported house fire at Westbourne Dr. in Antioch. When crews arrived, they found the home with heavy fire involvement inside the structure.

The residents were able to get out of the home safely according to CONFIRE Fire Marshal Robert Marshall, however, two dogs died in the fire.

Marshall also shared that the house received extensive damage and was left uninhabitable with three persons who were displaced.

The Red Cross was called to assist the occupants with temporary housing. Fire personnel were able to bring the situation under control in about 25 minutes. Red Cross, PG&E, Antioch PD & East Contra Costa Fire were assisting agencies in the incident.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Heavens to Betsy! the poor poor dogs. The renters and fire fighters should have made the dogs a priority over human life!

We need to get together and sue someone for the dogs. Go dogs! Go dogs!
