Single Alarm Structure Fire in Pacifica

On December 26, 2012 at 6:44 p.m., 6 Fire Companies, 2 Chief Officers and 1 Fire Investigator responded to a report of structure fire at 548 Palmetto Avenue in Pacifica.

The first arriving fire company reported a working fire inside the bathroom of the single family residence.
