A residential fire broke out that broke out Saturday afternoon — in an area that appears to be part of the Greg Norman Course at PGA West — was contained, the Riverside County Fire Department reported.

Firefighters responded at 2:04 p.m. Nov. 29 to the 81-000 block Kingston Heath in La Quinta and found a 3,000-square-foot, single-story home with "smoke and fire showing from the roof." Multiple engines were sent to the scene, and the incident commander requested additional engines and utilities.

The fire was contained at 3:48 p.m. Crews are expected to remain on the scene for roughly three hours to conduct salvage and overhaul operations. The residents declined assistance from the American Red Cross.
