PETALUMA (BCN) -- Fire and smoke made a Petaluma home too dangerous to live in Monday night, displacing four people, fire officials said.
Firefighters were dispatched at 8:23 p.m. to the 100 block of Lindberg Lane.
When crews arrived, smoke and flames were coming from a bedroom window, according to fire officials. Firefighters cut a hole in the roof to let smoke and heat leave the home and then quickly put out the blaze. Crews kept the fire from spreading beyond the bedroom and a hallway, fire officials said, but smoke damaged the entire residence.
No one was injured in the fire. One person was at home when the fire started, according to fire officials.
A smoke detector alerted that person to the fire, fire officials said. If it wasn't for the detector, the fire would have been much larger, according to fire officials.
About $150,000 of damage was done by the blaze. The displaced residents are planning to stay with family.
