A house under construction in the City Heights neighborhood of San Diego caught fire Friday and was quickly knocked down by firefighters.<\/p>\n
Firefighters were dispatched to the 4000 block of 42nd Street, between University and Polk Avenues, shortly after 12:30 p.m. Friday and found heavy flames and smoke, according to San Diego Fire-Rescue Department Fire Information Officer Capt. Jason Shanley. It took about 15 minutes to knock down the flames.<\/p>\n
Shanley said the fire broke out in the backyard at a construction site where a house was being built.<\/p>\n
Firefighters took a defensive posture after learning that there was no one inside and kept the flames from spreading to nearby homes, according to Shanley, who said it is likely a total loss, but too soon to tell.<\/p>\n
Five fire engines, one fire truck, a battalion chief, one ambulance and investigators from the Metro Arson Strike Team were dispatched, for a total of almost 30 personnel, Shanley said.<\/p>\n
No injuries were reported and the monetary loss had not been determined, the damage done was mostly to framing. The cause was under investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A house under construction in the City Heights neighborhood of San Diego caught fire Friday and was quickly…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":412789,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5134],"tags":[5229,1582,276,34657,3549,7264,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-412788","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-city-heights","12":"tag-san-diego","13":"tag-sandiego","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-united-states-of-america","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","18":"tag-us","19":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115632904421357575","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=412788"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412788\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/412789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=412788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=412788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
