Couch Fire Causes $370K of Damage to Oxnard Home

A burning couch ended up causing $370,000 worth of damage to a home in Oxnard Tuesday morning.

The sofa blaze in the 300 block of Dollie Street was reported at around 1:56 a.m, an Oxnard Fire Department spokesman said.

Firefighters arrived to find the rear of the home on fire.

A 69-year-old who was inside was escorted out of the house and treated for minor smoke inhalation. She refused further medical treatment.

The fire was sparked after the woman lit a fire in her fireplace, and one of the logs rolled out.

It took firefighters around 20 minutes to extinguish the blaze.

The incident caused $350,000 in structure damage, and a further $20,000 in contents damage.
