Fire damages South Tahoe house

A house in the 900 block of Los Angeles Avenue sustained interior and exterior damage from a fire early Thursday morning.

South Lake Tahoe firefighters responded to the blaze about 3:30am May 16.

A city official called the fire accidental, but no other details were provided. Fire Chief Bruce Martin did not know about the fire until Lake Tahoe News called inquiring about it.

The eves, wood deck and fence were damaged. Then the fire spread slightly into the interior, according to the official.

The resident was outside when police and fire personnel arrived. No one was injured.
