An elderly man and a dog were located and rescued from a home burning on Cornell Court in Pleasant Hill Monday.
The fire was reported shortly after 2 p.m. with reports of smoke and flame at the residence, 19 Cornell Court. Firefighters arriving at the scene were met by those conditions upon arrival and swung into an offensive firefighting mode while a search of the residence was conducted.
Both man and dog were treated for unspecified injuries. Firefighters remain on scene (2:50 p.m.)
Hopefully injuries sustained by man and “best friend” were minor.
We’ll second that hope, Jeff.
Hi. I live on Cornell Ct. The fire was actually at 19 Cornell Ct.
Hi back, Chris, and thanks. Bit of a Printer’s Devil there… we knew that, just typing too fast!
Any update on the older man and his dog? My mom was wondering because she lives right down the street on Twinview.
