New Year's Eve Fire Guts Garage & Car At Tri-Valley Home

PLEASANTON, CA — Four people safely evacuated a Pleasanton home New Year's Eve, after a fire broke out in the residence's attached garage and spread to a vehicle parked in the driveway, according to officials.

Firefighters were called Sunday at 1:17 p.m. to the fire on the 400 block of Junipero Street, the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department said.

Crews, which included the Alameda County Fire Department, knocked down the blaze — described as "heavy" — in about 20 minutes, managing to keep the fire from spreading to the single-story home's interior, officials said.

Firefighters remained at the scene for several hours to check for "hidden pockets of fire," the department said.

The cause of the blaze remains under investigation, officials said.
