Crews from Cal Fire and two other departments knocked down a travel trailer fire Monday that threatened another residence in the Deer Springs community, authorities said.
The 28-foot trailer was fully engulfed and “a complete loss,” said Cal Fire San Diego Capt. Brent Pascua, who added that the two people who lived in the trailer were not inside at the time.
The blaze was first reported at 12:58 p.m. in the 9900 block of West Lilac Road. There were no reported injuries to firefighters or any residents, Pascua said.
The blaze, which took 40 minutes for crews to knock down, also severely damaged a truck parked next to the trailer. Pascua said damages are estimated at $50,000.
A shed nearby sustained damage, but the small home next to it was saved, Pascua said.
The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department’s Bomb/Arson Unit was called out to investigate.
The North County and Valley fire protection districts assisted Cal Fire on the call.
