North County Fire Authority extinguishes burning vehicle that spread flames to the garage of a two-story home in Daly City on Monday. Oct. 16, 2023.
DALY CITY, Calif. - Firefighters extinguished a fire at a home in Daly City Monday evening after flames from a burning vehicle had spread to the home's garage, officials say.
North County Fire Authority says crews responded to the residential fire at 817 Gellert Boulveard shortly after 7 p.m.
Officials said arriving crews saw a vehicle parked in the driveway was on fire and that flames had spread to the garage of the two-story, single family household.
Firefighters ensured the occupants of the home were safely evacuated.
Investigators said the cause of the fire was most likely accidental and caused by a leaking fuel line that leaked combustible fluid on the engine of the older-model vehicle. The combustion likely happened upon ignition.
