Updated 3:05 p.m.: Coastside firefighters responded to a fire overnight at the San Benito House in downtown Half Moon Bay. One person suffered a minor injury. The fire was contained to the building, according to CalFire spokeswoman Cecile Juliette.
Eleven people were in the building at the time of the fire, which was called in at 2:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. When firefighters arrived, they saw smoke billowing out of upstairs windows. I pulled up and I saw two people hanging out of the window, said CalFire firefighter Tom Newt on Twitter. I immediately grabbed the ladder, threw the ladder to the window and got those people out of the building.
