Sacramento County Home Damaged In Early Morning Fire; Suspect Put On Mental Health Hold

SACRAMENTO COUNTY (CBS13) — Authorities say a person with mental issues is believed to have started a fire that damaged a home in Sacramento County early Tuesday morning.

The scene was along Propitious Court, off of Elkhorn and Don Julio boulevards.

Sacramento Metro Fire says their crews responded just after 3:30 a.m. and found a heavy fire.

Firefighters were soon able to knock down the flames, but not before the home was damaged.

The extent of the damage is unclear.

A resident of the home is believed to have started the fire, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office says. That person has since been put on a mental health hold.

No one else is believed to have been home at the time and no injuries have been reported.
