g. DESCRIPTION: A fire broke out in the residential garage of the listed home for reasons that are currently unknown. Local fire and police departments responded to the scene, and, as a precaution, two occupants were evacuated to safety. During the fire, the home's natural gas meter was damaged, leading to a release of natural gas into the atmosphere. Firefighters shut off the gas supply and extinguished the flames shortly thereafter. A crew from SoCalGas assessed the damage and confirmed the safety of the natural gas lines. Once the assessment was complete, the temporary evacuation order was lifted, and the occupants were allowed to return. The homeowner will coordinate repairs with an insurance adjuster and SoCalGas.
