One firefighter was injured during the Moraga-Orinda Fire District response to a two-alarm fire the night of July 21 at 1884 Joseph Drive in Moraga. The home was completely destroyed, according to fire chief Stephen Healy, with the next-door residence suffering minimal damage. The first unit arrived in eight minutes and three seconds, he said.

"The cause of the fire was likely a hot object left in the garage," said Healy, who reported that the firefighter received a lower body injury while inside the burning structure. He was transported to the hospital, treated and released, and is expected to make a full recovery.

Healy estimated damage at $700,000 to one structure and $100,000 to the other.
