Backyard Fire Displaces 13

Comments Off

A PILE OF DEBRIS BURNING IN A SAN DIEGO, California, back yard has displaced ten adults and three children that were living amongst the piles of trash.  The house has been condemned and was supposed to be vacant, but it is believed that one person was squatting inside.  The other thirteen people were living in tents that had been set up within the debris piles when the fire started in the garage early Thursday morning.

KGTV Ch. 10 had their video camera on the scene at the height of the fire:

The fire spread from the junk to a fence and then the rear of the house that had been scheduled for demolition.

After the video report was made, the Red Cross determined that they would not be providing any assistance to the vagrants because they had been on the property illegally.
