A fire broke out inside a garage at a Chollas View home Tuesday.
No one was injured when the smoke and flames filled the garage at 730 47th Street just after 8 a.m.
Crews arrived to find the garage fully involved and the flames were getting close to a home next door, SDFD Battalion Chief Steve Salaz said.
"It was a significant amount of smoke we could see from the distance," Salaz said.
He added that crews removed a lot of personal belongings from the garage area of the home.
A man spoke with officials and said he was the only resident of the home.
Abner Sandoval lives on the street told NBC 7 this wasn't the first time there's been a fire on the property. Other times, the residents would burn trash in the backyard in the overnight hours.

He said his family has reported fires on the property to San Diego police.
"If this is the third time and they are still saying they're going to investigate I don't think that's very safe for us," he said.
No one was injured.
