Ventura County: Bystanders Rescue Resident From Oxnard House Fire Nov. 14, No Working Smoke Detectors Found
A house fire in Oxnard, Ventura County, on the afternoon of November 14 left one adult with serious injuries. Oxnard Fire Department Battalion Chief Nate La Russo said two bystanders helped rescue the injured resident from the home, and authorities are still trying to determine how the rescue unfolded.
The fire department responded at 1:23 p.m. to a reported structure fire in the 400 block of Ibsen Place, and the blaze was brought under control about 20 minutes later. About 20 personnel from the Oxnard Fire Department, the Ventura County Fire Department and Federal Fire Ventura County responded.
La Russo said firefighters encountered a minor complication while battling the blaze because ammunition was inside the house. The fire was confined to two rear bedrooms, but smoke and fire damage extended throughout the house.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. La Russo said no working smoke detectors were found inside the home.
