Terra Linda home
damaged by fire
A fire damaged a residence in Terra Linda, a San Rafael Fire Department official said.
The fire happened at about 3 p.m. Monday at 4 El Pavo Real Circle. It burned siding, a fence in the side yard, trash cans, vegetation and part of the attic, Deputy Chief Robert Sinnott said.
Firefighters did not determine a cause of the fire but think it started in the trash can area, Sinnott said. He said no one was injured.
