An Arden house fire left two people dead late Tuesday as Metro Fire crews battled flames and what officials said were hoarding conditions inside the burning home.<\/p>\n
A third person escaped the fire at\u00a03530 William Way\u00a0near\u00a0Watt Avenue\u00a0in the Arden community before firefighters arrives, said\u00a0Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District\u00a0Capt.\u00a0Mark Nunez, in a statement.<\/p>\n
Metro Fire crews arrived\u00a010:15 p.m.\u00a0to heavy flames at the back of the single-story home and learned two people were still inside. Crews fighting the fire in the back of the home found the first victim when they made their way into the house. Firefighters soon located the second victim during a more thorough search of the home, Nunez said.<\/p>\n
Conditions inside the home hampered firefighters\u2019 search for the two victims and their battle against the flames.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe residence contained hoarder-like conditions, which significantly hindered firefighting operations and search efforts,\u201d Nunez said in the statement.<\/p>\n
A firefighter received a minor burn to the hand and was treated. No other injuries were reported, Nunez said.<\/p>\n
The cause of the fire is under investigation.<\/p>\n
