Four adults and three children were displaced Tuesday after a non-injury blaze threatened a two-story apartment building in Serra Mesa.
Firefighters were sent to the 8700 block of Hurlbut Street at a little before 5 a.m. Tuesday, according to the San Diego Fire Department. Once crews arrived, they found two cars on fire inside a carport.
Firefighters quickly worked to stop the fire and evacuate the building, according to the SDFD.
The blaze was contained to the carport, but the interior of the four- unit apartment building was damaged, which prompted the seven people to be assisted by the Red Cross.
Estimated damage to the structure was at $50,000 while the damage to the two vehicles involved was estimated at $30,000, according to the SDFD.
The cause of the fire is being investigated.
