Sheriff’s deputies responded to a family disturbance call at a house in the 7500 block of Versailles Way in Sacramento County early Friday morning, sheriff’s officials said on social media.

Christmas Day itself "will be a fairly cloudy, nondescript day", Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Rebekah Hicks added.

The graphic footage showed two deputies chatting as a man emerged from his cell with his hands cuffed behind him.

Upon arrival at the scene, deputies were “immediately overtaken by suspicious odors coming from the guest’s vehicle,” the county Sheriff’s Department said in a statement at the time.

LFB deputy assistant commissioner Richard Field described the fire as "devastating" and said it was "fortunate that no lives have been lost".
