A mansion in the 6700 block is destroyed tonight after a two alarm fire called in firefighters from San Diego, Solana Beach, Carlsbad, and Vista. A call came out around 9:10 for a fire alarm ringing and when units arrived on scene, they were confronted with a fully involved garage in the three story mansion. After 20 min of fighting the fire, it was decided that an additional alarm would be required to put out the raging flames.
Bret Davidson, Battalion Chief, from the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, told me that after the second unit arrived on scene, the fire had spread to different levels of the house. This spread weakened the structural support and a defensive strategy was put into place after the flames had spread.
The house is currently under renovation and nobody was at the house when the blaze started. The house is a total loss. No dollar estimate tonight on how much was lost in the fire. The San Diego Arson and Bomb unit arrived on scene and is helping crews to determine the cause of the fire, which is still under investigation.
