Firefighters battling a fire at a North Park home had a difficult time entering the home because of the many possessions inside.
The fire started just before 1:15 a.m. Sunday on the 2000 block of Dale Street between Redwood Street and Palm Street.
San Diego Fire-Rescue Investigators said they had to take a back door to get into the house.
Firefighters got a handle on the flames and extinguished the fire 20 minutes after they arrived on scene.
Neighbor Gene Bianchi said the woman had many items inside the house.
"She was a hoarder as far as persay....the house was pretty much full of...well, all our cats live there," Bianchi said.
No other homes in the area were damaged.
