Fresno house saved from flames destroyed in another fire

FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – A house previously saved from a fire on Wednesday was destroyed on Saturday after being ignited again, the Fresno Fire Department announced.

Firefighters say on Saturday around 4 a.m. they responded to a vacant house fire on Wilson and Olive Avenues.

Upon arrival, crews reported the house was fully engulfed in flames and forced them to take a defensive approach.
