Cal Fire/Riverside County firefighters are on the scene of a residential structure fire on the 10 block of Furman Court in Rancho Mirage.
The first arriving fire crew reported a single story home with smoke visible from the attic.
As of 12:49 p.m., the crews were still battling the “active heavy fire” in the home’s roof. At around 1:20 p.m.., the fire spread to the adjoining duplex. Firefighters were able to get the fire under control at around 2:35 p.m., according to Cal Fire.
Due to temperatures of 102 degrees in Rancho Mirage, authorities utilized a SunLine bus to cycle firefighters in and out of the heat. 
Four firefighters were transported by ground ambulance to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
