Foreclosed Home Goes Up In Flames, Leaving Four Tenants Homeless; Cause Under Investigation

In Marysville, California, the Appeal Democrat reports:

• At least four renters were left homeless [last week] when a fire swept through a Marysville house. The fire at 527 G Street was reported shortly after 6:30 a.m. All occupants escaped uninjured, said Capt. Matt Furtado of the Marysville Fire Department. The house was in foreclosure and was sold July 22 at an auction in front of the Yuba County Courthouse, according to county Recorder's Office records. [...] Furtado did not comment on a possible cause of the fire. "It's all under investigation," he said. [...] If the house can be salvaged at all, it will have to be gutted, said Furtado.
