Carmel Valley Fire Injures None, Results in $150K Damages

An early morning Carmel Valley fire left one displaced and resulted in more than $150,000 in damages, officials said.

The fire started shortly after 5 a.m. Monday at a house on Del Vino Court in the garage of a second-story apartment complex, the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department said. Occupants living upstairs heard a noise and discovered the fire.

The SDFD contained and knocked down the single alarm fire in approximately 15 minutes, the SDFD said, and no injuries were reported.

The estimated losses amounted to more than $150,000 in damage, the SDFD said.

SDFD Spokesman Joseph Amador said the cause of the fire was due to an electrical issue and was accidental.

There is smoke damage on the second floor of the two-story garage and the homeowner has been displaced.
