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.
Ah, technology!
I took the kids to the Lego Store.
I have been in Texas a long time, didn’t have indoor AC until I was about 14...
Now I find anything over 75 to be kind of warm and 80 to be hot.

Old age and old age drugs seem to make me much more sensitive to heat.
I used to go the the race track and bake in 90 deg sun all day without a care.
Now 10 minutes on the deck and I’m ready to sprint inside.
Very good. You really are gifted with plots and scenarios, which is the more important aspect of fiction.
However, if you don’t mind my saying so, you have comma splices.
I have too little comma sense!
Thanks Geron.
Have ‘borrowed’ it ,to read off-line later. :)
My right ankle gives me fits when the weather is like this, and some days, it's almost impossible to concentrate on something else.
Right now, the weather is perfect for me. Maybe another five degrees hotter, but this is good. Of course, once it gets to 110, anything over that is not really noticeable. The worst thing is that the heat sucks the moisture out of your body, so you have to always have water with you.
At my age I don’t really sprint anywhere or any time.
And certainly not when it’s hot.
No, you’re right. When the humidity gets up to 10%, we REALLY feel it, but when the monsoons are here, we get 90 degrees and 90%. Then we start dropping like flies...especially the newcomers to the Valley. They have no clue and don’t bother to ask.
Comma me bro!
lol
it is extra hot today
at least it feels like it is
It’s a 5 step sprint, LOL
“Five step sprint”
Usain Bolt, is that you? :)
I’ve been on a mission to be continue to outrun my grandkids up a pretty steep hill in my backyard.
The oldest is turning 9, plays tackle football, and is now giving me a pretty close race. It won’t be long...
110’
Ouch.
Time to start the ‘Blue fridge’, and go for a drive.
I gave up on prescription drugs because my body doesn’t like them. The side affects are anything from heat intolerance to nausea, trembling and headaches. I’m strictly holistic, now, and after almost 30 years, my CFIDS is finally under control. I have to be always on guard for set-backs, but now I can go to the track and actually enjoy the sights, sounds and smells!
Pharma-giants don’t want to cure you: they want to keep you dependent on the drugs they force on you. The bottom line is money.
Reminds me of one of Werner Von Braun’s designs.
I don’t sprint, either, but I can walk fairly fast when it’s cool! (80)
