August 13, 2018 (Ramona) – A Sheriff’s Deputy in Ramona spotted a home in flames at 205 Sixth Street in Ramona before dawn on Friday and called for help. While firefighters were on the way, more deputies from the Ramona substation arrived and entered the residence. They found an elderly couple and other family members sleeping, then safely evacuated them all.
“The deputies’ quick actions and response likely prevented the loss of many lives,” says Sergeant Jeremy Sheppard.
Firefighters were able to contain the fire to the main residence and an attached structure. Sheriff’s arson investigators are investigating, though the nature and origin of the fire have not yet been determined.
