Kris Saxon, a captain with the South Pasadena Fire Department, says the cause of a structure fire at 2050 La Fremontia Street in the city on Wednesday night is still under investigation.
Arriving on scene at about 11:35 p.m., fire department officials discovered the home under construction fully engulfed. “They saw a large red glow,” said Saxon, describing what units saw approaching the scene.
Neighboring fire departments from Alhambra and Pasadena assisted in putting out the blaze, “which was under control in about 20 to 25 minutes,” explained Saxon.
No other structures in the area were reported damaged during the fire, according to the captain. Saxon also said no one was injured.
La Fremontia is in the Monterey Hills area of the city.
