One Resident Unaccounted for in Ramona Fire

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) –  – One resident of a Ramona house was unaccounted for today after flames fully engulfed the structure, authorities said.

The fire was reported at 5:20 p.m. in the 20000 block of Black Canyon road, CalFire San Diego Capt. Isaac Sanchez said. “The first arriving engine reported it was well-involved and a
decision was made to go defensive,” Sanchez said. That means firefighters focused their efforts on protecting surrounding structures while letting the house fire burn itself out because it was not safe fore firefighters to be inside or on top of the structure, he said.

A woman and a child were displaced by the fire.
