In a suburban area of Antioch, a house fire that broke out on Tuesday night is suspected to be a case of arson. Fire crews from the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District arrived at the scene, on Mount Hamilton Drive, around 10:30 p.m. to find the garage fully engulfed in flames.
Thanks to the efforts of the fire crews, the fire was successfully contained within the garage. At the time of the incident, the house was unoccupied and no injuries were reported.
Initial investigations suggest that a car crashed into the garage before the fire was deliberately set. This unsettling incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of remaining alert to potential dangers in our communities and swiftly reporting any suspicious activities to the authorities.
