T2 found a multi unit single family dwelling with light smoke coming from exterior sub floor vents on bravo and delta sides of structure, and light smoke inside structure. Upon further investigation, a contents/debris fire was found under residence in crawl space access area. T2 personnel extinguished fire and checked for extension, preserving area of origin. T2 assisted FM Maggio with investigation efforts. Additional Narrative (#2 of 2 ): Fire Origin and Cause Report: I received a phone call from the San Luis Obispo Fire Dispatch at approximately 7:10 Pm on Friday, October 11, 2019 requesting I respond to a structure fire at 519 Brizzolara Street. I arrived at approximately 7:30 PM and check in with Battalion Chief Neal BERRYMAN. BERRYMAN led me to a property with two duplex units and showed me a fire area underneath Unit 'C' in the crawlspace. The fire origin was an area approximately 6 feet in from an opening on side 'C' of Unit 'C' and approximately 1 foot to the left of the plastic sewer line, which exhibited charring in this area. In the origin I observed two partially burned books, a small wooden box with charring on the side facing the origin, and the remnants of a cardboard box (the bottom of the box had not burned. Food items were and food containers were also found in the origin area. To the left of the origin, a cloth insulated electrical wire was found with the two conductors shorted out exhibiting a bead at the termination. The breaker panel showed that breaker #1 had tripped. In addition to the fire under the home, two other small fires were discovered which consisted of crumpled newspaper in gopher holes. During the scene examination a mother and her four children approached me. The family lived in Unit at the front of the property. The children stated that they often "played" in that yard area behind Unit 'C' and that they "dumpster dive" for recyclables. While they denied setting the fire, one of the boys admitted to have been in the crawl space that afternoon. Text messages from the resident of Unit 'C' to her boyfriend detail that around 5:30 PM she smelled something burning and heard children playing in the yard area. In addition, empty plastic milk jugs, partially filled with water were found in the area of the small fires of burned newspaper and water around the hose spigot was obvious. The mother in Unit 'A' is a smoker and there was access to a lighter. It is my opinion based on training and experience that the origin of the fire in the crawlspace was 6 feet in from the opening on side 'C' the material first ignited was paper and cardboard. Cause is incendiary, juvenile fire setter. Page 13 of 13
