Fire-resistant door helps Rocklin firefighters extinguish blaze

Thanks to an assist from a fire-resistant door protecting the living quarters of a Rocklin home, firefighters were able to confine a blazing fire to the garage.

Rocklin Fire Department firefighters responded at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Springfield subdivision to find flames devouring a garage attached to a home. Two vehicles in the driveway were also burning.

Crews extinguished the blaze that was contained by the two-hour fire door between the garage and the interior of the house. Crews searched the home but found no one inside.

The fire remains under investigation.
