A fire broke out at an apartment complex in Del Cerro Wednesday, believed to have been caused by a lit cigarette, officials confirmed.
The blaze was reported around 11:30 a.m. at a two-story complex in the 5400 block of Adobe Falls Road, near Interstate 8.
The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department (SDFD) said when firefighters arrived on scene, heavy smoke and flames were stemming from the complex, specifically from one fully-engulfed apartment unit on the second floor.
Crews worked to ensure all residents had safely evacuated the apartment complex as they tackled the raging blaze. No injuries were reported.
By 11:50 a.m., crews had knocked out the fire.
Lee Swanson with SDFD said four residents were displaced by the blaze.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, but Swanson said officials suspect a lit cigarette was the primary source.
