SACRAMENTO - At 4:50 p.m. the Sacramento Fire Department responded to multiple reports of a structure fire at 2712 T Street. Truck Company 6 arrived to the address just three minutes after dispatch and Engine Company 4 and 6 just seconds later. Companies reported flames in a three bay, detached garage behind the address. Engine Company 4 pulled hoselines and made an aggressive attack on the fire.

A Sacramento Fire Investigator was called to the scene and an adult female is now in custody with the Sacramento Police Department for arson. There were no injuries reported as a result of the fire and the initial estimate of damage to the structure and its contents is $50,000.
