Blazing through danger, Garden Grove firefighters saved a residential duplex from devastation last night, keeping a fierce attic inferno from consuming a family's livelihood. According to an official post from the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA), crews arrived on the scene to be met with flames licking the confines of the attic space in the 13,000 block of Jefferson Street.

Undaunted, the fire brigade set to work, the manos-de-dios of first responders shielding all that lay beneath from the fiery chaos overhead. "The rapid fire attack and quick knockdown of the fire limited the damage to the attic, and a small upstairs portion of one of the units," the OCFA relayed. In a stroke of fortune, or perhaps due to some fine fire-fighting, or both—a majority of the property, along with its contents, emerged unscathed.

There were no injuries reported, though the source of the blaze remains a mystery, its cause is currently under investigation.
