A fire broke out Sunday morning at 4:55 a.m. in a Rohnert Park townhouse on Santa Alicia Drive, displacing two residents and their dog, and firefighters contained the blaze in 30 minutes — investigators believe an electrical malfunction in a wall caused the fire — while smoke and water damage rendered the home uninhabitable.
