One person died and three others were hospitalized after fire raced through a home in Oxnard early Christmas morning.
The Oxnard Fire Department responded to a structure fire in the 1300 block of West Guava Street at about 3 a.m., according to Battalion Chief Michael McCaslin.
Fire and smoke showed from the back of the structure when firefighters arrived, and four people who had been trapped were pulled from a converted garage.
One was declared dead at the scene, while three others were transported to a local hospital in critical condition.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but McCaslin noted that there were no smoke alarms in the structure.
