Firefighters extinguish Oceanside vegetation fire near shopping center [Breaking]
A vegetation fire behind an Oceanside shopping center was quickly extinguished Sunday by firefighters.
Firefighters responded to a report of thick smoke and flames showing in thick vegetation near the Albertsons shopping center on Marron Road near Cienaga Place around 4:20 a.m., officials said. Responding crews identified the best way to access the fire through the barrier walls and thick vegetation. Firefighters from Oceanside, Vista and Carlsbad put water onto the fire and stopped its spread within 20 minutes of arriving, authorities said.Full extinguishment took an additional hour because of the significant vegetation and debris that indicated the area was being used as a homeless encampment, officials said. A fire investigator responded to coordinate resources to remove hazardous debris. No injuries were reported.
