Hayward home catches fire with alleged intruder inside

Firefighters rescued a man from inside a burning home in Hayward on Monday night. That man is a suspected trespasser.

The fire was in a home on Shell Gate Circle.

The suspected intruder was hospitalized for treatment.

No one was supposed to be inside the house, because the homeowners were out of the country, officials said.

Now investigators will try to figure out how the man got inside and what caused the fire.
