NBC 7 spoke with a spokesman for the San Diego Sheriff's Department a bit earlier, who said the blaze began in a shed in the backyard of the home, and that fire soon spread to some trees and nearby brush. The flames then followed the fuedl to the east, prompting deputies to evacuate around a dozen homes.
No residential structures sustained damage, though, the spokesman said, nor were any injuries reported.
The cause of the fire was not known. No other information was immediately available.
