The Sparks Fire Department arrived to a house fire at 137 Galleron Way in Sparks just before 4:00 p.m. Sunday.
Firefighters successfully knocked down the fire that damaged two cars, the garage, the home, and the exterior of the home next door. The Sparks Fire Department tells us that the house was a total loss, but the house next door is still live-able.
A family member has told KTVN that everyone made it out safely. There were no animals in the home. The Red Cross arrived on scene to help the displaced family. They will ensure that everyone has a safe place to sleep, food, clothing, medication, and any other essentials. The Red Cross tells us that they respond to a disaster, usually a home fire, every 4 days in Northern Nevada.
If you would like to help the family, you can make a donation to Fire Hurts, the Red Cross campaign, by calling (702) 369-3674 or visiting www.redcross.org/nv/reno.
No injuries were reported but several firefighters were swapped out due to heat exhaustion.
