SAN DIEGO — SAN DIEGO – A fire erupted at a Linda Vista apartment building early Tuesday morning, forcing at least 10 residents to leave their homes.
The fire was reported just after 2 a.m. at an apartment complex in the 7000 block of Tait Street, San Diego Fire-Rescue Department officials said. SDFD crews arrived to find a second-floor apartment unit engulfed in flames. They contained the fire to one unit, although surrounding units sustained some water damage.ABC 10News spoke with 17-year-old Gregorio Zarraga, who said he lives in the complex with his mom, dad and two little brothers. He said they had to evacuate when the fire started.
“It's tough because my dad won’t be able to go to work, my little brothers won’t be able to go to school as well," Zarraga said."We’re uncomfortable right now, we don’t know what to do.” Fire officials are working to figure out what sparked the fire, but they said no one was inside the unit where it started.Zarraga and other displaced occupants are working with the Red Cross to get financial assistance.
