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.
LOL!
I told you hot to saw that ice...
Or maybe not..
New Alliance will be 99 cents in the morning sometime
Maybe that will get some attention
Ah, the battle on the ice from “Alexander Nevsky”!
(Which later was reenacted using tanks in actual battle on a frozen lake during ww2..spoiler, lots of people drowned.)
I’m sorry to hear about Kathleen. Lets hope today is the lucky day.
I just made a cup of coffee and was reading the newspaper. Two stories on the front page. Two separate stories, each involving an idiot, one who killed some kittens, and one who killed a litter of puppies. People have no respect for life anymore. Not human, not puppies or kittens.
I’m crawling back to bed, I’m done. I wish Hades was real. People who hurt puppies and kittens should be there. Not Paulo and Francesca.
LOL!
She knows it upsets you. And beyond that, maybe she likes the way it feels.
I dunno, T-c...to catch a squirrel, you have to think like a squirrel. Just sayin’.
There IS a Hades, and you can rest assured that abusers of innocents are going to pay dearly for what they have done. Otherwise there would be no justice anywhere.
Awww...floofy! <3
Good morning. I don’t think the kitten wants to be in the bowl. I like a more real-life style of kitten pictures.
Bowls with kittens cause fur to stick to the roof of your mouth.
I was going to go to church today, but I’ve been having chills since I got up so maybe I will stay home and go to bed around noon...if I can last that long.
I’ll go to church later. Currently I’m doing laundry, painting my nails, and putting Kathleen on the toilet every 15 minutes.
I’m thinking of taking a decongestant. Half my head is blocked up. Kathleen got in my vitamins, but fortunately, she only consumed a flax oil capsule.
Maybe the flax oil will help in her efforts to resist...right now, she can control it. Laxatives, she can’t.
Yesterday, I was thinking of doing my own nails this morning, but I don’t want to do anything out of the ordinary. I just have to rest when I get like this.
Decongestants are always on hand, here, since I am so prone to allergens, these days. I hope your head feels better soon.
Nully, is the third Hobbit movie out in extended version, yet?
I’ve done my left hand (one coat of metallic blue). When it’s completely dry, I’ll do the right.
