EMERYVILLE, Calif. - Three people were displaced Saturday morning by a house fire in Emeryville, fire officials said.

One person at the house was hospitalized after the fire, possibly for unrelated reasons, Leal said.

The one-alarm blaze was knocked down in about 30 minutes. The cause is under investigation.

Embers from the fire drifted to a neighboring home, where they smoldered in an attic but didn't catch fire. 

Oakland Fire Department crews provided assistance to Alameda County firefighters in battling the blaze, Leal said.
