SAN DIEGO Quick action by a group of solar roofers is getting a lot of well-deserved attention.
A brushfire broke out on Tuesday in Rancho Penasquitos around 3 p.m. off Carmel Valley Road near Black Mountain Open Space.
The roofing crew was able get most of it out before firefighters arrived.
A neighbor who called 911 captured the men’s selflessness and the images have gone viral.
“Too often people just pass by and don t get involved and this truly was a life and danger situation that they put themselves into,” said Matt Bartelt.
