Westminster Structure Fire

Earlier this evening, crews responded to multiple reports of a structure fire in Westminster. Many callers reported seeing a large column of smoke from the freeway.

When Engine 66 arrived, they found a two-story home with a patio cover on fire, with flames already extending into the residence. Crews quickly deployed hose lines and coordinated an aggressive attack on both the exterior patio fire and the interior of the home.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported. The quick knockdown stopped the fire’s spread, saving a majority of the home and countless family belongings.

Just after 5:00 a.m. this morning, OCFA firefighters arrived to find a single-story home with a garage fire that had already extended into the attic and living space. The neighboring home was also threatened by the rapidly spreading flames.

Firefighters quickly deployed multiple hose lines and aggressively attacked the fire, stopping its spread and preventing damage to the adjacent residence. The rapid knockdown prevented further fire extension, allowing a significant portion of the home and many of the family’s belongings to be saved.

Wildfire Season Outlook

Today, Chief McGovern joined leaders from CAL FIRE, the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), the Ventura County Fire Department, and the U.S. Forest Service to discuss this year’s wildfire season outlook and the ongoing threat of wildfires across Southern California.

The chiefs highlighted the importance of preparedness at both the household and community levels, sharing steps residents can take to reduce risk and stay safe. They also discussed the extensive efforts underway by fire agencies to prevent, prepare for, and respond to wildfires year-round.

As we move into peak fire season, now is the time to create defensible space, harden your home, sign up for emergency alerts, and have an evacuation plan in place.
