3 Doors Down
I was at work on Monday and got an IM from Elaine saying that firemen were at the door warning them that they may need to evacuate. The house 3 doors to the east was on fire!
So they put it out.
Three displaced by Rancho Penasquitos blaze
RANCHO PENASQUITOS — Three residents were displaced by a fire that caused about $200,000 damage to a single-family home in Rancho Penasquitos on Monday afternoon, authorities said.
The blaze was reported at 3:23 p.m. and began in an upstairs bedroom of a two-story home in the 13000 block of Russet Leaf Lane, said Maurice Luque, spokesman for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
“There was a lot of smoke and fire showing when (firefighters) got there,” and responding crews doused the flames in about five minutes, Luque said.
Authorities estimated the cost of the damage at $150,000 to the structure and $50,000 to the contents inside, fire Capt. Ted Visser said.
The Red Cross responded to assist an adult, two teens and two dogs displaced by the fire, Luque said.
I glad that everyone was alright. I am also glad that your family and house are okay!!!
