At 7:30 a.m., a caller reported a fire at a residence on the 1200 block of Bennett Way. The fire had started in a garage and then spread to the residence. Firefighters contained the fire in a half hour, though they remained on scene for three hours to perform cleanup operations.
The fire killed two cats.
Shortly before 4 p.m., a caller reported a fire burning at North SLO County Recycling at 3360 La Cruz Way in Templeton.
Firefighters arrived to find multiple piles of garbage burning inside and outside of the building. A full commercial response was requested and the fire was contained within 30 minutes, according to the Templeton Fire Department.
