SAN DIEGO - An abandoned property with two residential structures was a total loss after a fire caused it to collapse on Saturday, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
Dozens of personnel were dispatched to 4342 Georgia St. shortly before 6 a.m. Saturday, where the building was fully engulfed in flames, according to SDFRD spokeswoman Candace Hadley.
Two buildings at that address had been red-tagged, boarded up, and were not suitable for occupancy.
Fire crews surrounded the burning property with hoselines and attacked the blaze from a ladder pipe to prevent it from spreading to other properties.
"I'm really grateful that my place is standing," said Cheryl Swenson, who lives nearby. "I haven't heard that anybody's been harmed, so, you know life is precious and it's a structure. It can be rebuilt."
There was one main building at the front, and an additional building in the rear.
No one was injured and no other damages were reported. The cause of the fire was under investigation.
Firefighters remained on scene for more than three hours, according to Hadley.
