A house fire in Daly City left one resident and a firefighter injured, with smoke inhalation reported for the affected resident. The blaze erupted on Tuesday morning at around 8:35 a.m. in the first block of Mateo Avenue.
Fire crews responded swiftly to put out the flames, however, they soon realized that the fire was more extensive than initially thought. The first floor of the two-story home was engulfed in heavy smoke and one bedroom caught fire, prompting firefighters to search the residence while extinguishing the blaze.
The aftermath revealed 11 residents displaced from their homes, as well as two cats, who received assistance from the American Red Cross.
Unfortunately for firefighter, an injury sustained during the rescue operation left them with a wounded knee. In contrast, the resident suffered from smoke inhalation and was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
The investigation into the cause of the fire is currently underway. With 11 residents forced out of their homes and a firefighter nursing an injured knee, the fire has undoubtedly had a profound impact on those affected by this incident.

11 people displaced from their homes 
that's crazy! I feel bad for the firefighter who got hurt during the rescue mission 
hope they recover soon. And poor kitty cats, glad the American Red Cross was there to help out 
smoke inhalation is super serious, good thing the resident got medical attention ASAP 
. Can't wait to see what the investigation finds out about the cause of this fire 
Firefighters are literally the real MVPs 
- can't even save themselves from their own team...

! I mean, 8:35 am and already firefighters are dealing with a blaze that spreads to the first floor 
. And now we got 11 people displaced and an injured firefighter... 
. And poor cat victims getting Red Cross assistance 
.
just heard about that house fire in Daly City and it's really concerning... 11 people have to be displaced from their homes 
. You'd think modern fire alarms would help prevent such incidents. What do you think? Should the city increase funding for fire safety measures and emergency preparedness? 
. 11 people displaced from their homes? That's just devastating. The American Red Cross is doing a great job helping those cats too, I guess you could say they're the real heroes 
.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around how quickly the situation escalated in that house fire 
.
. investigation will probably find out what caused this fire, maybe something in the electrical system or just a careless mistake 
This house fire in Daly City is really heartbreaking. I mean, you've got people who are struggling to get back on their feet after losing their homes - 11 residents and two cats! 
. I hope they're okay now.
Like what are their owners supposed to do? They just get left behind?! That's so sad for them too.
.
. Of course, we can't speculate on the cause of the fire yet, but let's just hope it was an accident and not something more sinister 
. Can't wait for the investigation results, but in the meantime, let's all send some positive vibes to this family 
meanwhile poor firefighter got hurt trying to save people hope everything goes back to normal for them soon 
. can't even imagine the trauma of seeing your home go up in flames like that... anyway, hope the guy who got hurt gets better soon
