Firefighters were dispatched to the 5600 block of Sharp Road around 1:30 a.m. on initial reports of a structure fire.
When crews arrived on the scene, they found a “well-involved kitchen fire extending into the front living area,” according to Riverside Fire Chief Mark Miller.
Firefighters were able to get the sole occupant out of the home. That person was treated by medics at the scene for smoke inhalation.
An estimated $28,000 worth of damage was done to the home and the American Red Cross was called to relocate the occupant, according to Miller.
We’re working to learn what started the fire.
