LUCERNE, Calif. – A Lucerne home burned early Monday morning in a fire for which a cause has not yet been determined.
The home, located at the corner of Seventh Avenue and Country Club Drive, was reported to be on fire just after 2 a.m. Monday, according to radio reports.
Firefighters arrived within minutes to find the single story, stick built structure fully involved. The fire also initially threatened other nearby structures, and power lines were down.
Crews were on scene for some time bringing the fire under control, based on radio reports.
“We posted someone there until daybreak this morning to make sure everything was out,” Northshore Fire Chief Mike Ciancio told Lake County News later on Monday.
Ciancio said there were no injuries.
The home, built in 1926, is a total loss, said Ciancio.
He said the cause remains under investigation.
The fire is the second in three days to destroy a home in Lucerne.
Another fire on Saturday night destroyed a residence on Roland Drive, as Lake County News has reported.
Ciancio said the fire in the Roland Drive structure, which he said was a singlewide mobile home, also remains under investigation with no determination yet reached on the cause.
There also were no injuries in the Roland Drive fire, Ciancio said.
