BAY POINT — A two-alarm fire early Thursday sent one person to a hospital and caused significant damage to a residence, fire officials said.
Fire crews from the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District responded about 5:25 a.m. to a residence on Anchor Drive and found smoke and fire coming from it upon their arrival. Spokesperson Capt. Victor Daniel said officials sounded a second alarm to make sure all occupants were out of the house.
Daniel said only one person was in the house and that the person got out without help. That person went by ambulance to a hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation.
Crews knocked down the fire by 5:50 a.m., and had it fully extinguished by 6:30 a.m.
“There will be an extensive overhaul of the residence,” Daniel said.
Investigators were at the scene but have not determined what caused the fire.
