A house fire in Fallbrook shot flames high into the air and quickly spread Sunday, igniting nearby brush in critically dry conditions.
The fire first sparked at the home on Deluz Road around 6:30 p.m. and tore through the 2500-square foot home.
Flames were so intense, crews called for reinforcements from as far away as San Marcos. It took crews hours to extinguish the fire. Fire crews stayed through the night to keep water on any hotspots.
Flames spread to the yard and scorched about a half acre of brush. Cal Fire told NBC 7 it did not appear that winds were a factor in the fire's spread Sunday night.
However, winds were expected to pick up strength Monday morning as the county was under a red flag warning.
One woman was treated for smoke inhalation, officials said.
