The cause of an early morning fire north of San Diego was an electrocuted bird falling from an active power line
A bird carrying a snake in its talons struck power lines north of San Diego, sparking a hillside fire just west of The Merge.
San Diego Police arrived to the location on Dunhill Street near the intersection of Interstates 5 and 805 just before 6 a.m.
Flames were burning very close to businesses including the General Atomics building, officials said.
Officers called in San Diego Fire-Rescue crews who contained the fire within an hour.
Fire officials initially told NBC 7 a bird with a snake in its mouth was electrocuted on a power line and fell to the ground, sparking the fire. A photo released by officials later shows the snake in the hawk's grasp.
"A hawk that hit the high voltage power line, caught fire, and fell to the ground," SD Fire-Rescue spokesperson Lee Swanson said in a written release.
There were no structures damaged and no evacuations ordered.
This area of San Diego is home to many companies in the region's biochemical industry.
I will certainly give each of them a nice smooch from you, dear.
Intriguing!

You just need a “Crazy Cat Lady Starter Box,” my dear friend. ;-)
You’ll have to fight Bryan for her! ;-)
I want to get healthy so I can have a kitty friend again in my life.
I miss not having a kitty. I wanted to scoop up one of yours and love it. They all look so wonderful.
I especially like the little noses on the basement kitties. They look like patent leather. Fashionista kitties!
Thanks for that ,Darks.
My Wetta screwdrivers now look a whole lot safer to use.
Those German drivers must be made for the UK market.....the designer has seen tool abuse over here he dare not repeat to his German colleagues.
“Yes I was enviously eyeing the kit he has there.”
If that kit fell into your hands......
No, let’s not go there.
(just to scary a thought)
Purrrfect. (((Hugs)))
I promise not to create destructive plasma projections should I get electrical service kit of that nature.
I believe you.
Did I happen to mention I was only born yesterday?
:)
I’m in love with today’s kitteh.
Sleepy kitteh. I hope you have sweet dreams.
My cats are happy there’s no dog today.
“Go ‘ways, I sleeping.” said Jake.
“You can’t tell us that if you are asleep, you would need to be awake to say that.” his pinkish hairless servants intoned.
“I cat, I a contradiction in motion.” and it was so. Meow and meow.
Yesterday being a term for “sometime last century, so figuratively yesterday” or “decanted from the cloning vats yesterday and attempting to fit into the spot during the absence of the original” kind of yesterday?
It’s good to be a cat.
I think I was able to bring a new member here!
I went out with my dearest friend yesterday, she’s like a sister to me.
She and her husband are despairing about what is happening in the news this week, and don’t know anyone to talk to other than me because so many people living here don’t think like we do.
I told her to come over here when she has time when her kid is asleep or starts summer camp next week. And to bring her husband
Lots of nice people, of like minds, and cat lovers.
Oh they are dog people but it’s all good. She likes kitties though. She would always bring treats to mine when they were alive.
“It is good to be king!”*
*stated my cat as he perched firmly on the top of my cranial dome like some furry driver hunched over the controls of a squishy automaton.
