Fire at Lemon Grove U-Haul Lot Under Investigation

An arson investigation was launched after two trucks caught fire in a U-Haul rental truck lot in Lemon Grove.

It happened around midnight at the company on Lemon Grove and Massachusetts avenues.

A witness told investigators people left the area just before the fire started.

When deputies and firefighters arrived the front end of one truck was engulfed in flames.

The outside of the truck was scorched and its windows were blown out.

The burned vehicle was parked near a dozen other U-Haul trucks.

A second truck parked next to the burning vehicle also caught fire.

Firefighters knocked it out before the fire could continue to spread.

The San Diego County Sheriff's Bomb Squad is investigating the fire to determine a cause. Officials say it appears to be arson.

In fact, deputies already detained and questioned two people - a man and a woman - in connection to the fire but have since released them.
