Possible invader of empty Fresno home escapes after being rescued by firefighters during fire

FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE / KGPE) – A person rescued from a burning house in Fresno Tuesday morning escaped rescuers, according to fire officials.

Crews responded to a house fire near Rowell and Iowa avenues around noon in southeast Fresno. When firefighters arrived, they found smoke coming from the empty house.

According to investigators, a person described by authorities as a “possible home invader” was taking a shower when the fire spread from a fireplace to the rest of the home.

First responders managed to rescue the person in the house who subsequently escaped, this is what Jonathan Lopez of the Fresno Fire Department said.
