Dozens Displaced by CA Fire

May 22, 2016
Two people were treated for smoke inhalation at the scene in Antioch.

A structure fire at a three-story apartment building Saturday morning in Antioch displaced 25 residents of six units and caused at least two individuals to be treated for smoke inhalation.

The blaze was reported at 7:15 a.m. on the 3100 block of Lone Tree Way and was under control 35 minutes later, according to Robert Marshall, a spokesman and fire marshal for Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, which fought the fire along with the neighboring East Contra Costa Fire Protection District.

When firefighters got to the scene, residents already had evacuated, but several reported inhaling smoke and two were treated by paramedics.

The damage amounted to about $1 million. Fire investigators are working to determine the cause of the blaze, Marshall said.
