Second Alarm Fire Out in Gaslamp District

Crews have put out a second alarm fire on the 600 block of Island Avenue in San Diego's Gaslamp neighborhood. 

The fire broke out around 1:31 p.m. Sunday. and was out within 20 minutes of fire crews responding. They are still working to get the smoke out of the rest of the building.

"When they entered into the ballpark self storage, they found there was indeed a fire in one unit on the first floor," Capt. Joe Amador, public information officer for the City of San Diego Fire-Rescue Department told NBC 7. "It's kind of hard in a storage unit that's involved with fire, but they coordinated well and they managed to find it and put the fire out."

There was smoke throughout the building so they called a second alarm response. More than 50 firefighters worked to control the blaze near Petco Park.

Investigators on scene have not yet determined the cause or extent of damage.
