Full Notification

This morning at approximately 0006 hours, Fairfield Fire Department units were dispatched to a residential structure fire in the 600 block of Hillside Drive. Units arrived to find a well-involved back patio/deck as well as an established fire inside the two-story home. A second alarm was ordered.

Upon search of the residence, an adult male was located, and rescued. The patient was transported to a local trauma center via Medic Ambulance with Fairfield Firefighters/Paramedics on board providing advanced life support care. Two dogs and a pet snake were also rescued, and one cat was deceased.

The fire was contained to the home, which sustained major damage. Damage to the home and property is estimated at $400,000. A firefighter reported one minor burn but did not require medical care. The cause of the fire is under investigation but appears accidental. 

Station coverage and assistance at the scene were provided by Vacaville Fire Department. Other stations were covered by Vallejo Fire Department and Suisun City Fire Department. No further information is available at this time. 

I want to commend the heroic actions of the men and women of the Fairfield Fire Department. Their actions saved a human life and many of the family's pets.
