One person escaped a Corte Madera house fire without injury, but two dogs died and the home sustained major damage. The Central Marin Fire Department’s account was reported by the Marin Independent Journal and The Press Democrat.
The two-alarm blaze began at about 1 a.m. Saturday at a hillside residence on Lupine Drive, above Meadowsweet Drive, according to those reports.
Fire crews brought the fire under control after about 30 minutes. The reports described Lupine Drive as narrow and winding, a condition that complicated access to the property.
Battalion Chief Brian Peterson said the cause remained under investigation as of Monday. No estimate of the damage was available, the Marin Independent Journal reported.
