Motor Home Fire Spreads To Commercial Building

A fire that grew from a motor home spread to a nearby commercial building in El Cajon Monday evening. The flames started in an outside storage area at 1444 Pioneer Way at about 6:50 p.m. But when Heartland Fire crews arrived on scene, they saw heavy fire coming from several vehicles under a metal carport and neighboring buildings. "We upgraded this incident to a second alarm because we had difficulty accessing the actual fire because power lines were down and they had energized the fence that was surrounding the structure," said Heartland Battalion Chief Ted Kakuris.
