Fire Breaks Water Pipe, Causes $200,000 in Damage

A fire in the bathroom of a condominium spread to the attic and broke a water pipe early Thursday, ultimately causing about $200,000 in damage to six units, a Palm Springs fire captain said.

Crews were called to look for the source of smoke at 2860 Los Felices Road at 3:13 a.m. and had the fire they found there knocked down a half-hour later, Capt. Jason Loya said.

An accidental electrical issue likely caused the fire, he added.

No one was hurt in the fire, which broke a water pipe and damaged five nearby condos.
