1 dead in apartment fire near downtown San Diego
SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Police and arson investigators are wanting into what induced a lethal condo hearth close to downtown San Diego.
Simply after 12:30 a.m. Friday, firefighters had been known as to the 1400 block of 4th Avenue, within the Core-Columbia neighborhood, after a hearth erupted in an condo unit.
Authorities on the scene stated an individual was pulled from the burning unit, and regardless of life-saving measures, that particular person was pronounced useless on the scene.
San Diego Police taped off the block as against the law scene for the investigation, and ABC 10News discovered the Metro Arson Strike Group was known as to analyze the reason for the blaze.
No different accidents had been reported.
A demolition crew has gutted most of the old Fry’s Electronics building in Serra Mesa to make way for a new apartment complex.
A City of San Diego spokeswoman said the property owners for the site applied for a permit to build a 310-unit apartment complex. NBC 7 contacted the current property owners to see if there is a timeline for demolition and construction but were unable to reach them during the holidays.
Fry’s closed in February 2021 as another victim of the pandemic and evolving consumerism. Nevertheless, the store was a beacon to tech geeks and electronics fans for decades.
“I’ve been in this building dozens of times in my life,” said NBC 7 Chief Photographer Scott Baird.
Baird remembered when the building first opened in the 1990s as Incredible Universe.
“It was like a big deal in San Diego,” Baird said. “You remember where you were when Horton Plaza opened and where this was when it opened.”
The parking lot was fenced in shortly after the store closed in February 2021. Baird flew DroneRanger 7 over the demolition on Tuesday.
“They’re making big piles of stuff into smaller piles of stuff inside so they can probably truck it out of here,” Baird said.
“We do this story 12 times a week,” explained Baird, the veteran journalist. “There’s not enough housing and there’s not enough places to live.”
