A fire that erupted in the attic of a Desert Hot Springs home left two firefighters injured and five residents displaced Thursday morning.
Firefighters went to a home in the 8500 block of Warwick Drive at 7:11 a.m., April Newman of the Riverside County Fire Department said.
Two county firefighters sustained minor injuries trying to control the blaze, which Newman said spread throughout the attic, causing “numerous roof collapses.”
Almost two dozen firefighters were dispatched to handle the fire, which was not contained as of 9 a.m.
Five adults living at the home were displaced and the American Red Cross was called to assist them, according to Newman.
