An early afternoon fire Tuesday in Point Loma Heights forced a family of three from their home and caused an estimated $300,000 worth of property damage.
The non-injury blaze in the 3800 block of Wildwood Road erupted about 12:40 p.m., according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
Engine crews rescued two dogs while subduing the flames, which took just under an hour, SDFRD Capt. Joe Amador said.
Investigators were unable to determine the precise cause of the fire, though they decided that it was accidental in origin and probably related to an electrical malfunction, the captain said.
The displaced residents — a woman and her two teenage children — were able to arrange for interim lodging without assistance from the American Red Cross.
