Fire crews responded to a small fire in a homeless encampment area near Interstate 805 in San Diego. They accessed the fire from the southbound freeway side but determined it was on city property. Crews worked across a gully, pulled hose lines, and put water on the fire. People who lived in the encampment were already out, but they reported having propane tanks and gas cans in the area, which firefighters took into account while working. The fire was knocked down, and crews stayed on scene for about 30 minutes to perform overhaul and create a small containment line around the burned area.
