Five Cities firefighters responded to the fire in the 2400 block of Mona Lei Court in Oceano around 8:30 a.m. Saturday. They found smoke coming from an attic above the home’s garage, where the homeowners had just finished using the blowtorch to fix pipes inside a wall.
The firefighters cut portions of the wall away and used low-pressure water to put out the fire. Fire personnel removed burnt drywall and insulation and melted ventilation pipes.
No injuries occurred during the blaze.
The San Luis Obispo County Building Inspector will follow up with the homeowner on usage of the house.
