COLFAX – It was a race to stop a house fire from spreading to other structures in Colfax early Wednesday morning.
Crews from Cal Fire's Nevada-Yuba-Placer Unit responded to the scene along the 200 block of Grass Valley Street just before 3:30 a.m.
Firefighters quickly discovered that a single-story home was going up in smoke. With several other structures nearby, crews went to work quickly to try and stop the flames from spreading.
No one was home at the time, but the Placer County Sheriff's Office has been able to contact the owner and alert them of the incident.
