Fire Causes Extensive Damage to Home

Firefighters arrived just after 12:25 a.m. to the 5000 block of Citation Ave. in Cypress and found flames coming out of the home, said Capt. Marc Stone of the Orange County Fire Authority.

It took firefighters about 30 minutes to knock down the flames at the 1,600-square-foot home, he said.

The flames were so intense that firefighters cut holes on the roof to allow some of the flames to escape, and firefighters to be able to enter and fight the fire from the inside.

Firefighters believe the fire may have started in a sunroom or deck, Stone said. Officials are looking into a three-burner camping stove as a possible cause.

The fire is believed to have caused $200,000 in damages to the home and $100,000 to its contents, he said.

No injuries were reported.
