Early evening house fire on Date Street, Orland

“I am just thankful that no one was hurt,” stated homeowner Pomali Thitphaneth Sunday evening. She added that “everyone was still awake” when the fire started. The call regarding a structure fire at 1065 Date Street in northwest Orland went out at about 7:30 p.m. The Willows and Artois fire departments were called for mutual aid almost immediately, but when the Orland Volunteer Fire Department arrived at the scene the mutual aid was cancelled. Law enforcement officers got to the home very quickly and made sure everyone was out of the house. Orland firefighters removed many items from the residence. It appeared that the fire may have started in the attic. Glenn County Observer photo by Larry Judkins.
