OAKLAND -- Firefighters battled a large one-alarm house fire in East Oakland Tuesday afternoon, fire officials said.

The fire was reported around 4 p.m. at a two-story home in the 3500 block of Calandria Avenue in the Oak Knoll-Golf Links neighborhood, said Oakland fire Battalion Chief Coy Justice. The fire was knocked down around 4:30 p.m.

No injuries were reported and the homeowner was not home when the fire occurred.

According to Oakland Fire Department's Twitter account, firefighters arrived quickly on scene with three engines, a truck and a battalion chief and found heavy fire coming from a single-family dwelling. Another building was threatened.

"We were able to control the fire with a single-alarm assignment, which is always good," Justice said.

The fire left "extensive damage to the attic and the top floor of the home," he said. The fire was contained to the top half of the two-story home.

Justice wasn't able to provide a damage estimate, but he did say the home "can be salvaged." The occupants of home plan to stay with family in the area.
