The non-injury blaze in the 2900 block of Ocean Front Walk erupted about 10 a.m., according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. The two people in the four-story structure at the time were able to escape on their own, SDFRD spokesman Lee Swanson said.
It took crews about a half-hour to get the fire under control.
“They contained it to that first unit and essentially to that wall, but there’s … a fair amount of damage there,” Swanson said.
Investigators set the monetary losses at $150,000 to the structure and $100,000 to contents.
The residents of the damaged unit told firefighters they could arrange for alternate lodging themselves, without help from the American Red Cross.
