Fire crews quickly responded Friday to an alarm at a 23-story luxury apartment building at University Town Center.
Firefighters responded shortly after 10 a.m. to the Palisade at 8800 Lombard Place, the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department said.
A total of 44 personnel including four fire trucks, five fire engines, two battalion chiefs, one medic and one rescue unit were dispatched to the scene, according to SDFD.
A spokesperson for the apartment building said later that a plumbing leak set off a fire alarm in the building.
The high-rise luxury apartment complex has studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom residences and penthouses with panoramic views of the ocean and downtown San Diego.
