An attic fire caused extensive damage to a Citrus Heights home early Saturday morning, occurring just feet away from the Oak Avenue fire station.
Although aided by crews as far as Folsom, firefighters from Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District’s Station 28 — located across the street from the blaze — didn’t have to travel far to put out the 5:30 a.m. fire.
Responding with at least five fire trucks, as well as several police vehicles, emergency crews temporarily blocked off most of Oak Avenue while battling the blaze.

Sac Metro’s public information officer tweeted there were no injuries from the fire, but that “extensive salvage” was required to save belongings.
Damage appeared to be primarily internal, although a charred hole could be seen in the roof from outside the home.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
