Hundreds call for action, remember missing loved ones during Eureka demonstration

The first arriving unit arrived on scene and reported heavy fire burning in a large two-story single-family residence. As additional units arrived crews quickly went to work to search for trapped occupants, extinguish the fire, and remove smoke from the residence.
All six occupants were out of the home upon arrival, but it was reported that several dogs may be trapped in the house.
