Fire Damages Lake Murray-Area Home, Displacing Residents

SAN DIEGO, CA — It took crews about a half-hour Tuesday to subdue a roof fire that damaged a Lake Murray-area home.

The non-injury blaze erupted shortly after 4 p.m. in the 6400 block of Golfcrest Drive, south of Jackson Drive and east of Park Ridge Boulevard, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.

Firefighters were able to confine the flames to the shake-shingle roof of the single-story house, SDFRD Capt. Jason Shanley said.

The American Red Cross was called in to help the two people who live in the home arrange for emergency shelter.

The cause of the fire was under investigation.
