San Diego fire officials battled a blaze that engulfed an RV in front of a home near Rancho Penasquitos Saturday morning.
The fire began just after 10 a.m. in the 11400 block of Meknes Way, near Nawa Way. It was knocked down a short time later.
Officials said the blaze had fully engulfed a recreational vehicle near a home, and the house was being threatened by the fire.
According to a fire captain, the blaze began in the RV and, because it was windy, the fire and smoke spread to a home.
Officials say no one was home at the time and no injuries were reported.
Crews had to cut a square from the roof of the home to let smoke out, and later patched it up with a silver panel.
The fire captain said the home sustained a lot of smoke damage and, at this point, is temporarily uninhabitable.
A mother and daughter who live at the home were very upset about the fire, but the mother told NBC 7 she's happy nobody was hurt.
The captain said embers flew to other nearby houses and firefighters were concerned that the fire could've been much bigger, but luckily that wasn't the case.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
