One firefighter was briefly hospitalized with minor burns Sunday in a fire at a three-story building under construction in Pacific Beach.
The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department responded to the scene of a fire in the 1700 block of Hornblend Street around 1 a.m. Sunday and began to attack the fire, officials said. A second alarm was requested at 1:17 a.m. and a third alarm went out at 1:31 a.m. SDG&E was asked to shut down a power line involved in the fire, and the blaze jumped to a couple of palm trees at Lamont Street and Grand Avenue.
The main body of the fire was knocked down by 2:06 a.m. and crews worked on two single-family homes nearby that were damaged by flames.
Several cars were damaged and power lines were downed in the blaze, officials said.
