A house fire in Mill Valley on Monday left a resident dead and also killed a dog, the Southern Marin Fire District reported.
The fire was reported at 12:38 a.m. at 744 Alta Vista Road in Tamalpais Valley. The first fire crew to arrive found “advanced fire conditions with a large amount of smoke and fire coming from the front of the building and from a window on the right side yard of the structure,” Battalion Chief Travis Fox said.
Firefighters found the dead resident in a rear bedroom of the 1,192-square-foot house.
