DIXON, CA — Four people escaped a three-alarm house fire in a single-family, single-story home in Dixon Thursday afternoon, Dixon Fire Department Division Chief Greg Lewis said. A man who lives in a home in the 300 block of Calmace Drive suffered minor to moderate burns and was taken to a hospital, and an adult female resident suffered possible smoke inhalation, Lewis said.

A cat died in the fire, a dog escaped and another cat is missing, Lewis said.
