The scene was sealed pending the arrival of a fire investigator, said Contra Costa Fire Battalion Chief Steve Maiero. Richard Faigle, 32, a civil engineering student at UC Berkeley, was shaken after talking with police and firefighters. His wife, Laura Minor, works at CNET, the same company as James Kim, who was found dead this week after missing for days in Oregon. Firefighters found two inoperable smoke detectors in or near the bedroom, Maiero said. One of the detectors had been sitting on a dresser, with the battery removed.
