A home in north Santa Ana was damaged by a fire on Sunday afternoon

We reported a fire yesterday near 17th and Santiago. It turned out to be a residential fire at a home located at the 1800 block of Poinsettia, that started at about 2:35 p.m., according to the O.C. Register.

A total of 24 OCFA firefighters were able to put out the fire by 2:55 p.m.

No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

This time of year there are many fires due to:

• using chimneys that have not been properly cleaned or inspected
• using candles
• and overloading electrical circuits with Christmas lights

Take a few moments to check out your house to make sure you have done everything possible to prevent a fire!
