Fire destroys Palo Alto home tied to Google…

PALO ALTO – A three-alarm fire Tuesday night destroyed a Palo Alto home tied to Google co-founder Larry Page and injured two firefighters, according to authorities and media reports.

The fire was reported at 8:10 p.m. in the 2100 block of Bryant Street, according to the Palo Alto Fire Department. Crews arrived to find “heavy fire on three sides of the structure and on both stories.” Flames were also threatening trees on one side of the residence.

The department said second and third alarms were called “as the fire proved to be a challenge for all involved.”

“PAFD crews worked diligently to gain control of the fire and prevent it from engulfing the rest of the structure and spreading to any neighboring properties,” the department said.

Two firefighters suffered minor injuries that did not require medical attention, according to the Daily Beast.

The cause of the fire was under investigation.
