One person died in a fire at an apartment building in Petaluma

One person died in a house fire early Sunday morning in Petaluma.

Petaluma firefighters were dispatched at 4:31 a.m. to the 100th Block of Saratoga Court. Firefighters arrived seven minutes later and found smoke coming from the open front door and from the second floor window of the house.

Working alongside firefighters from Rancho Adobe Fire, Petaluma crews extinguished the fire in less than 15 minutes after the first call.

Two residents fled, but reported that someone was still inside. Rescuers searched the house and found the deceased.

The cause of the fire is being investigated.

The victim’s identity is not released until the Sonoma County coroner completes identification and notifies the victim’s family. The Petaluma Building Department placed a “red tag” on placement in the building as it was deemed unsafe. The Red Cross helps residents with the choice of housing.
