Scary Moments for Crew Fighting Vista House Fire

Firefighters were forced to pull back though when a power line caught fire

Firefighters battling a house fire in Vista were in danger when a low-hanging power line caught fire.

Fire crews responded to the home on Phillips Street around 3:30 p.m. Sunday and found flames pouring out of the front and side of the house.

They were forced to pull back though when the power line caught fire.

โ€œIt was actually burning over our heads at that point, and we needed to retreat a little bit out from underneath that and cordon off the area and then continue the attack,โ€ said Battalion Chief Jeff Berg with Vista Fire Dept.

No one was injured. Firefighters managed to save the familyโ€™s dog from the fire.

The residents opted to stay with relatives for the night.

No word on the cause of the fire.
