SACRAMENTO, California (KOVR) — A woman has been taken to the hospital for burn injuries after an early morning fire in Sacramento involving a porta-potty.
Sacramento Fire crews got a report of a fire near T and 17th streets around 3:15 a.m. Thursday.
At the scene, firefighters discovered that a porta-potty in front of a home being renovated had melted to the ground after it caught fire. The front stairs of the home appears to have been scorched, but the rest of the home was untouched.
