Fire on Wild Bill Way (Santa Rosa Fire Department)

Five family members and their dog are okay after escaping a house fire in southwest Santa Rosa. It first started as a fence fire at about four o’clock Sunday morning, then spread to the first and second floors of the home, then up to the attic. Firefighters had most of the flames out within about 15 minutes. Investigators say the fire started near trash cans and yard waste, and believe the cause was someone improperly disposing of ashes. The family needs to temporarily move out of the home while repairs and damage assessments take place.
