Richmond firefighters battled a house fire in the 2800 block of Shane Drive on Friday afternoon. Crews reported the fire had spread into the attic, and live power lines complicated the response, according to Richmond Fire Department radio traffic.
Crews arriving around 4 p.m. connected to a water supply and began fighting the fire from inside the house, then found a fire in the attic. Firefighters reportedly cut holes in the roof to release smoke and heat and called for an additional hose line to attack the attic fire.
Video posted to social media showed thick black smoke and flames on the roof of the home as the fire burned.
Fire officials later reported the fire was knocked down and the house was clear on all floors, though crews continued dealing with a live electrical hazard as PG&E worked to shut off power to the area.
A large plume of smoke was visible miles away in North and East Richmond as crews worked the fire.
