Crews responded to a “well-involved garage fire” that spread into the attic of a home near Skyline Saturday, a San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman said.
Firefighters were sent to the single-family home in the 100 block of Sears Avenue just after 9:45 a.m. It took as many as 39 personnel from SDFD and the National City Fire Department 13 minutes to extinguish the fire.
Reports of people being trapped in the burning home “turned out not to be true,” the spokesman said.
One person was medically evaluated, but it was unclear if that person suffered serious injuries due to the fire.
A damage estimate was unavailable; the cause of the fire is under investigation.
