A TUESDAY NIGHT FIRE LEFT 3 PEOPLE (AND A DOG) DISPLACED. THE JUST BEFORE 10 P-M BLAZE BROKE OUT IN THE GARAGE OF A HOME ON THE 300 BLOCK OF 7TH AVENUE IN THE LIVE OAK AREA OF SANTA CRUZ. THE GARAGE HAD BEEN CONVERTED TO A LIVING SPACE, AND FIRE STARTED WHEN SOME COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS (INCLUDING A BOOK CASE) WERE TOO CLOSE TO THE WATER HEATER
