SANTA ROSA (CBS SF) -- A residential structure fire in Santa Rosa displaced four people Saturday.

Firefighters with the Santa Rosa Fire Department responded Saturday at 5:53 p.m. to 1826 San Ramon Way on a report of a fire.

Responding crews saw a large column of smoke coming from the back deck of a two-story home.

The fire spread from the back deck and extended up the back wall of the residence and to the second floor and the attic.
