At 4:38pm a Vegetation Fire was reported at 1209 South Nevada Street near Oceanside Boulevard. Oceanside Fire Department, Vista Fire Department, Carlsbad Fire Department, and Oceanside Police Department were dispatched to the fire. On arrival, an Oceanside Fire chief reported a 10x50 foot spot fire burning and cancelled all units besides a battalion chief and 2 closest fire engines.

The man that set the fire, named John, said it was started when he was working on a piece of metal. He grabbed a hose and went to action, and while doing this, somebody called the fire department. The fire started to become out of control for John, but he stilled fought the fire as best as he could. Soon the fire department arrived on scene and quickly extinguished the flames.

In the video you can see a young fire explorer (kids between the age of 15-20 who volunteer for the fire department) helping contain the fire. All fire units were able to clear the scene by 5:36pm, just 50 minutes after the initial dispatch.

No injuries were reported.
