Orcutt house fire displaces elderly couple on Halloween
An elderly couple is displaced on Halloween following an attic fire at their Orcutt home.
The fire broke out at about 6 p.m. Monday in the 1500 block of Onyx Court.
Fire crews from the Santa Barbara County Fire Department and Santa Maria Fire Department were able to quickly put out the fire.
Extensive mop-up work was needed to fully extinguish the fire, according to Santa Barbara County Fire Capt. Dave Zaniboni. No injuries were reported.
The elderly couple was outside the home when firefighters arrived. The American Red Cross is assisting them tonight.
Capt. Zaniboni says the cause of the fire was a light fixture in the home. The estimated amount of damages is unknown at this time.
