Cops Rescue Dog From Condo Fire
Published: February 18, 2007
A police officer was sent to the hospital for smoke inhalation after saving a dog from a condo fire in Loma Portal.
The fire broke out around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday Feb 14 morning on the third story of a condo complex in the 3000 block of Rue D’Orleans.
Two San Diego police officers were first on the scene. They forced their way into the unit and carried the poodle safely away from the flames.
When firefighters arrived they quickly knocked down the fire.
San Diego Fire-Rescue Spokesman Maurice Luque told NBC 7/39 the blaze was sparked by an unattended candle fire.
The candle melted down, burning a chair near the kitchen and some carpet in the unit. Officials said the fire caused an estimated $10,000 in damage, mainly in the condo’s kitchen area.
One officer was transported to Sharp Memorial Hospital as a precaution.
The condo’s owner was not home at the time of the fire. There were no other injuries reported.
