The homeowner said he left for work around 8:30 a.m. and isn't sure how the fire was started. 

Manuel Sanchez rushed home and found six fire trucks outside of his home. 

His first thought was, "where am I going to sleep tonight." 

No one was injured.

The cause was under investigation. 

The neighborhood is south of downtown San Diego and east of Interstate 5 near the junction with State Route 15.
