Pleasant Hill Woman Suffers Burns In 1-Alarm Apartment Fire
PLEASANT HILL (CBS SF) -- A woman suffered minor burns in a one-alarm apartment fire in Pleasant Hill Sunday afternoon, a fire official said.
Firefighters responded to a report of the fire in the 2100 block of Geary Road shortly after 4 p.m., Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Fire Marshal Robert Marshall said.
A second alarm response was called for but was quickly canceled, according to a dispatcher.
The blaze at the two-story building was under control around 4:25 p.m., Marshall said.
Once fire crews knocked down the fire, they searched through the building and located the woman in a unit involved in the blaze, according to Marshall.
She was transported to a hospital for minor burns to her legs and smoke inhalation, he said.
The fire was caused by unattended cooking in a kitchen in the same unit where the woman was found, Marshall said.
