Flames tore through a South Bay condominium complex Friday, causing extensive structural damage and leaving a firefighter with minor injuries, authorities reported.
The blaze erupted about 1:30 p.m. in the 600 block of 13th Street in the Egger Highlands community, near Imperial Beach, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
It took engine crews from several agencies about an hour to get the flames fully under control, SDFRD public information officer Maurice Luque said.
Medics took a firefighter to UCSD Medical Center for treatment of apparently superficial burns to his ears.
The blaze damaged at least four residential units and spread into an attic area, Luque said.
The cause of the fire remained under investigation, he added.
