A fire early Saturday morning damaged two second-floor apartments on Carmen Avenue in Livermore before being extinguished by firefighters, according to the Livermore-Pleasanton Firefighters Local 1974 union.
The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department and Livermore Police Department responded about 2:40 a.m. Nov. 7 to the apartment fire, in which police officers found an upstairs unit “engulfed in flames,” officials wrote on social media.
Livermore police officers reportedly forced their way into a neighboring apartment to evacuate a resident whose unit was filling with smoke and evacuated other residents who lived in apartments downstairs.
Firefighters conducted an “aggressive” interior attack to extinguish the flames, which had extended to the building’s attic.
No injuries have been reported, and the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department on Monday said it had no additional details to share about the cause of the fire or the extent of the damage. In its post, the firefighters’ union encouraged residents to make sure their smoke detectors are working.
