The blaze broke out shortly before 6:55 a.m. at a multi-story mixed use building at 712 Ventura Place near Belmont Park, San Diego Fire-Rescue spokeswoman Monica Munoz said.
Crews arrived at the building, which has residential units on top of businesses, and knocked down the flames in around 30 minutes, Munoz said.
One person was transported to UCSD Medical Center in Hillcrest, Munoz said. The extent of the victim’s injuries was not immediately available.
A Dreyer’s Ice Cream shop at the location was damaged as well as a restaurant near the building, Munoz said, adding that a structural engineer was requested to assess the damage. According to Munoz, damage to the structure is estimated at $2 million and damage estimate to the contents is $750 thousand dollars.
