SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Two San Diego firefighters suffered minor injuries as they battled a fire that broke out at a Bay Ho-area condominium complex Friday morning.

The fire was first reported at around 10:45 a.m. at a condo in the 3700 block of Balboa Terrace, several blocks from Clairemont High School, fire officials said.
