Two children and their mother were displaced after a dryer caused a fire in their North Park home Thursday morning.
San Diego Fire Rescue responded to a call of a dryer fire at 3520 Herman Avenue after the woman who lives in the home smelled smoke and could see flames coming from her laundry closet. She and her two children evacuated and called 911, fire officials said.
When fire crews arrived, smoke was visible from the second floor of a two-story condominium.
Fire fighters were able to contain the fire to just a hallway, and put it out in ten minutes, according to fire officials. There was only minor smoke damage to the adjoining bedrooms.
No one was injured, but the woman and two children were displaced as a result of the fire, officials said.
It was unclear what caused the fire, but an investigation is underway.
