SAN DIEGO
An electrical fire gutted a living room in an Otay Mesa West house and displaced two adults, a child and their dog Tuesday morning, fire officials said.
The residents safely walked out of their home, on Robb Roy Place, off Churrituck Drive, with their dog after the fire broke out about 7:20 a.m., San Diego Fire-Rescsue Department officials said.
Firefighters, who found heavy smoke, quickly put out the fire, Battalion Chief Robert Rezende told OnScene TV.
The fire and damage was mostly contained to the living room, he said. No one was injured.
