Escondido Firefighters Contain Russell Place House Fire in About 15 Minutes; All Occupants Evacuated Safely
Escondido is a city in San Diego County, California. The Escondido Fire Department reports that on Oct. 11 at approximately 5:13 p.m., the North Comm Communications Center received a report of a residential structure fire at 1561 Russell Place in Escondido. The first-arriving engine company reported smoke coming from a second-floor window of the two-story, single-family residence. Fire crews initiated an aggressive interior attack and contained the fire within approximately 15 minutes.
The fire was primarily confined to a second-floor bedroom and adjoining hallway.

The residence was occupied at the time, but all occupants safely evacuated before firefighters arrived, and no injuries were reported.
