A Escondido structure fire sent heavy smoke plumes into the air above the blaze, Battalion Chief John Tenger said.
The fire broke out around 11:19 a.m. Sunday on the 800 block of E. Lincoln Avenue.
When crews arrived on scene, they found the single-story building with heavy smoke coming from the back of the building.
Within ten minutes, the fire was contained to the black portion of the house. The estimated structural damage is at $60,000.
Two patients on scene were treated for smoke inhalation. Displaced residents received aid from the California Fire Foundation and The Red Cross of San Diego.
Officials are investigating the cause of the fire.
No further information was immediately available.
