Upon arrival, fire crews found heavy flames coming from the duplex. SAFD said the duplex’s layout made the fire challenging.
The flames entered the attic at some point and part of the roof collapsed, fire officials said.
Everyone in the duplex escaped safely and there were no injuries. However, SAFD stated the damage to the duplex was severe.
There was a fire at the same location within the past year, the department said.
