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.
Last month, we got paid on the first, and I hate when that happens because it always means one or two extra days to get through.
So now, I need to get that shower over with and start to pay the bills. It’s going to go pretty fast this morning.
But it’s a good thing I have it because I’m out of milk. Looks like I will have to shop tomorrow before I can have breakfast!
And so, off to the shower!
Have fun! The thought of the shower reminds me that I need to pay the water bill.

It's just a part of growing older. You lose your ability to taste bitter. That's why adults eat brussel sprouts and kids hate 'em.
I need to seriously reconsider this fitness thing.
Getting up at 4:30 a.m. to either run or go to the gym before work is starting to mess with my sleeps.
I’ve been sleeping late and skipping the gym because of Frank’s swimming lessons.
I’m not sleeping well, still. It’s like out of seven nights, I have one where I sleep mostly through the night; the rest are weird...wake up at 2200 and stay awake until 0200 or so, then sleep until 0330...and get up.
My mind doesn’t want to shut off. *sigh*
Most of the bills are paid, and now, I just have to wait until tomorrow morning to get groceries. I WILL fill the tank then, too! They usually take $100 out in order for you to fill the tank or you have to go inside to pay. I hate that! They refund it after your tank is filled but still...
No, thankfully, but I suspect they will, soon...GAH!!!
My husband and I had an “intense discussion” Sunday night and I was not happy. That’s probably what my face looked like.
Somehow, I can see that, Sandy! “ROWAR!” Yah. Like that!
That’s about as fierce as I get. :-)
How are you, ‘Face?
I’ve had better days, Sandy, but I’ve also had worse weeks, so all in all, I won’t complain. I’m still on this side of the grass, and that is always good!
How have you been? Have you been on any bike trips, lately? Maybe one of these days, you could post a pic of your bike...?
“Ride the currents, young one. Your journey is done.”
I don’t know what to say about that...eerie...
It sure looks comfortable....
Terrible parody of Coolio’s “Gangster Paradise” and it’s ripoff of a Bible verse...
“As I walk through the valley of the shadow of Beth, I look at my lines and realize that’s treble clef..”
Please advice Ceiling Cat-
When I get my next cat, Floofy would be nice.
