Flames ripped through a Fremont home in a Sunday blaze that had firefighters racing against the clock to douse the fire. The Fremont Fire Department confirmed the incident occurred just after 3 PM on Truman Place, drawing a swift response with four fire engines, a fire truck, and command staff, including one Staff Captain and two Battalion Chiefs.

Upon arrival, firefighters were met with heavy smoke billowing from the front of the house. While the two residents had managed to escape without serious harm, the first due company tackled the flames that could have spelled disaster for the neighborhood. The fire was successfully contained to the affected residence. 

According to the Fremont Fire Department, the fire was brought under control and completely extinguished within 20 minutes of arriving. The residents' quick exit from the home facilitated the firefighters' focus on battling the blaze rather than engaging in a potentially dangerous rescue operation.

Investigations are currently underway to determine what sparked the fire. Amid this, one of the occupants sustained non-life-threatening injuries and subsequently received medical attention at a local hospital.
