A fire that erupted Monday in a house on the west end of Menifee injured the occupant and caused major damage to the structure, as well as multiple vehicles parked immediately adjacent to it.
The blaze was reported just after 6 a.m. in the 24600 block of Conejo Drive, near Las Flores Drive, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.
The agency said engine and ladder truck crews were sent to the location and encountered flames raging in the single-story home.
The occupant had escaped but suffered unspecified minor injuries in the process, officials said. The victim, whose identity was not disclosed, was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Firefighters spent nearly an hour battling the flames before bringing the blaze completely under control.
“The structure was destroyed,” according to a fire department statement.
Three vehicles at the home sustained damage, as well.
No surrounding properties were impacted.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
