Costa Mesa arson Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of a fire that raged through a single family home on Saturday. The firefighters arrived at the home on Colgate Street at approximately 6:40 p.m. Their efforts were frustrated by intense smoke and heat, and by the detonation of small rounds of ammunition that were located in the garage. Firefighters extinguished the fire using a technique that involved cutting into the roof to ventilate the area. It took a total of 21 personnel from the fire department to bring the fire under control. Authorities from the Costa Mesa Fire Department say the severity of the fire damage in the garage has impeded the pace of the investigation. Fire damage estimates are still being calculated. The fire department’s arson Investigation team is handling the investigation.
