SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The San Diego Fire Rescue Department responded to a house fire in a Rancho Bernardo neighborhood Wednesday afternoon.
According to SDFD, firefighters responded to the 11600 block of Via Firul after receiving calls about the fire around 2:10 p.m. Two teenagers, ages 19 and 14, were inside the home when the fire started, and they saw smoke and heard the fire alarms go off.
The two called 911, and multiple agencies responded.
SDFD described the home as a single-family residential unit with two stories. The fire was contained to that home.
According to fire officials on the scene, the fire started in the attic before spreading to the roof. A firefighter suffered a burn injury when the roof collapsed. Fire officials on the scene told ABC 10News the firefighter was taken to the UC San Diego Burn Center for treatment of their minor injuries.
At this point, the family who lives there is not sure what their plan is, but they can't go back in. None of the family members were injured.
