Fire Destroys Mobile Home in El Cajon

EL CAJON, CA: A fire destroyed a mobile home in El Cajon, causing around $60,000 in damages, but the woman who lived there was able to make it out safely without injury, authorities said Monday.

Heartland Fire and Rescue crews from El Cajon were joined by crews from Cal Fire San Miguel in responding to the 400 block of Van Houten Avenue at 10:45 p.m. Sunday. They found the home and a shed fully engulfed in flames, spokesman Sonny Saghera said.

Firefighters quickly contained the fire and keep it from damaging nearby homes. No one was injured, Saghera said.

The damage was estimated at $60,000 to both the home and its contents. The cause of the fire was under investigation, Saghera said.
