Firefighters knocked down a fence on fire along Santa Cruz Avenue in Ocean Beach Monday when they got the call to rush to a second fire less than a mile away.
The second fire started just before 2:30 a.m. in an alley just off Muir Avenue and Guizot Street. A shed and a tree burned in the fire.
Embers flew across the alley and melted the door frame of a nearby home.
Firefighters used a chainsaw to cut through the side of the shed and get to the fire to extinguish it.
Neighbor Ed Bebrin said seeing a fire so close to his home was pretty scary.
Investigators believe the two fires were connected.
No other information was available.
