Abandoned building fire in San Diego burns for over an hour
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — It took dozens of firefighters an hour to put out a fire that broke out in an abandoned building in San Diego Sunday night.
75 San Diego Fire-Rescue personnel, along with air support, worked to douse a fire in an abandoned two-story commercial building in the 3600 block of Ocean View Boulevard in the Mountain View neighborhood that started around 7:49 p.m. Sunday.
The SDFD battalion chief said firefighters brought in a water tower, and that the building had previously been burned, making it hazardous for crews to go inside initially.
Firefighters were able to put the fire out by 8:52 p.m. No injuries were reported.
The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department was assisted by the National City Fire Department and the Coronado Fire Department. A fire investigator has been assigned to investigate the fire.
