March 31, 2017 By sdcnews

LA MESA–A resident was displaced after a Thursday morning fire destroyed a two-story apartment complex in La Mesa.

Heartland Fire and Rescue and San Diego Fire crews were dispatched just after 10:30 a.m. to reports of an apartment fire, in the 7900 block of La Mesa Blvd. Fire crews arrived within two minutes to discover a two story, multi family dwelling with flames coming from a bedroom window. Fire crews were able to control the fire within ten minutes. One cat was rescued from inside the structure.

The fire was confined to a single bedroom of the residence, however there was significant smoke damage throughout the structure.
