San Diego News Daily: ➡In just under 48 hours, three people died due to a fire in their homes. 🍴Yelp released its top 100 U.S. restaurants list for 2023 and four San Diego area restaurants made the cut.
Investigators from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department were on the scene to determine the cause of the fire.. Three people were killed and a fourth person was hospitalized in a fire that engulfed an El Cajon home late Thursday.
“We did find one victim that had been involved inside the trailer on fire, which was the fatality and we also had one patient who had to be transported for smoke inhalation," said Cal Fire Capt. Michael Cornette. After these two tragedies… Cal Fire is stressing people get prepared and take the proper steps to ensure fire safety.“This would be a good time to remember to check your smoke detectors, if you haven't when you turn your clocks back. We always encourage everybody to check their smoke detectors monthly and change the batteries," Capt. Cornette said.
Every season poses its own set of fire hazards. As we inch closer into summer, the warmer, drier weather also brings a potential threat. “This time of year, this grass starts to cure, it's going to start drying out and that's going to create a fuel bed for embers and sparks to ignite on the side of the roads," Capt. Cornette said.“We want to remove any ignition sources that we have in the homes. Any candles, any faulty electrical equipment, or anything, any heaters," Capt. Cornette said.
