A woman who was asleep inside the home was able to get herself and several dogs out; however, one of the dogs bit her on the hand. She was taken to the hospital for the injury, SAFD said.
SAFD said wind gusts pushed the fire from the front to the back of the home. Some flames reached a nearby home, but crews were able to get the fire under control.
A downed powerline was visible outside the home, but SAFD was unsure if it caused the fire. They said fire investigators would be determining the cause.

The first home is currently unlivable at this time, SAFD said.
