Four residents were displaced Tuesday after a fire at a two-story duplex in Daly City, the North County Fire Authority said.
Firefighters found an entire first floor of a unit in flames at 11:51 a.m. at 141 Rio Verde St. on Tuesday, Fire Investigator Clyde Preston said.
Smoke and flames came from the side of the duplex’s first floor, and firefighters used hose lines to extinguish the fire, Preston said. Flames from the first-floor unit spread to the second-floor unit above.
No residents were found in the unit in need of rescue.
Four residents were displaced and received housing assistance through the American Red Cross. Investigators determined the fire started in the first-floor unit’s kitchen, with the exact cause still under investigation.
