A fire fueled by a broken gas line damaged a two-story home in Fallbrook on Wednesday afternoon before it was extinguished, officials said.
The blaze was reported shortly before 12:30 p.m. at the home on Kirkcaldy Road near Inverlochy Drive. When fire crews arrived they found a broken gas main, with gas blowing out of it that was on fire, said North County Fire District spokesman John Choi.
Flames spread to the structure and went into the home’s attic space, damaging the roof and the side of the house where the gas line was located, Choi said. The fire was under control just before 1:15 p.m.
