Investigators are trying to determine what started a two-alarm fire early Monday that destroyed an Encinitas home and left a resident with serious burns on her hands, a fire official said.
The blaze at the single-story home on Landquist Drive near Taegan Lane was reported shortly before 12:30 a.m. and quickly went to a second alarm as arriving fire crews found flames burning through the roof, said Encinitas Battalion Chief Robert Ford.

Correction - The house is in New Encinitas. The Encinitas Fire Department seemed slower than expected.
ReplyDeleteOops- thanks. Corrected.
DeleteDo we know yet the response time vs. the standard? It seems odd for a house to burn down to the ground in the middle of a city. Or did the owner not call immediately, equally odd?

ReplyDeleteDemand that the information be put on a Council agenda item. That includes medical responses. Good luck getting that information anytime soon.
Already know that'd be a waste. Blank stares and "we'll get back to you." Yeah, right.
DeleteNo accountability at City Hall. The City has no one with common sense at the helm. Fire and Sherrifs due what little they want. The City has no direction in what they spent their time doing or meeting goals.
ReplyDeleteSheriffs spend all your tax dollars on fun helipcopter flights looking for teenagers that slipped out of their parent noose, and cruising bikini patrol.
Fireprincess live the life of luxury while at work in their 5 million dollar McMansions sleeping, watching movies, BBQing, and shopping 90% of the time on the clock.
50% of the city budget goes to these folks. What a huge waste.
Hire a City Manager that will work for the Citizens of Encinitas that pay the taxes. When is the last time you saw Sheriffs enforcing speeding limits in town or pulling over straightpipe drag racers?
6:33m Mikey, Mr. Bile and Venom, give it a rest. We know who you are operating for. It has never been for the betterment of our community. Crawl back into your hole in the ground in O'side and stay there. Worthless is your middle name.

ReplyDeleteMikey?
Put down the pipe and observe reality.
9:27am. Turds of a feather stink together.
ReplyDeleteYou r one weird old hag responding to everyone’s posts as if the were Mikey. Strange.
ReplyDeleteIf by hag, you think that this is from the female gender, as it usually is, you are wrong again, as is usual. Wrong again. Nothing new for you.
