Just a Little Spark

When little children drawn a home, they always draw four walls, a window, door and a roof. The roof is one of the most important aspects of a house. It's kind of like the head or the hat of a home. A roof can also be a fragile part of a home. When it comes to certain disasters like fires and extreme weather it's often the roof that bears the brunt of the damage. The roof is also what protects us from extreme weather, animals and other disasters. But just like every other aspect of your home it requires regular maintenance. Without that, there are times when the roof just gives up:

A three-alarm fire destroyed a large commercial warehouse in the Miramar area early Tuesday.

The non-injury blaze on in the 8500 block of Spectrum Lane off Camino Santa Fe was reported shortly before 2 a.m., according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.

Huge flames shot up into the sky, leaving a fireball and smoke that could be seen for miles.

Arriving firefighters found the two-story 20,000-square-foot building fully engulfed and called for backup.

The roof collapsed and crews feared electrical transmission lines could fall on them so they attacked from outside.

"[We] made a very short attempt to save the far side of the structure that was not involved in the fire yet," said Batt. Chief John Fisher. "But unfortunately, we were unable to do that."

Around 100 firefighters from San Diego, Miramar and Poway had the fire knocked down in about 2 1/2 hours, SDFRD Capt. Joseph Amador said. The warehouse was said to contain items from a dietary supplement business that was in the process of moving in.

Fire investigators were sent to the scene, as was a structural engineer, Amador said.

Camino Santa Fe, which is used to access Spectrum Lane, was closed at Carroll Road, according to San Diego police. As of this report, all roads have reopened. No injuries have been reported.

San Diego Fire-Rescue Department crews report that the estimated damage stands at $3 million - $1 million in content and inventory and $2 million in damage to the structure exterior.

Like a hat, the roof keeps things tidy and unseen, like electrical wires. When a roof collapses it's a very serious things because no one really knows what's hiding up there. Unless you have lived in, or built, the building all manner of stuff can be hiding in the attic. It's often the place in horror movies where bad guys hang out. There are times when the roof needs a complete replacement. Maybe there was weather damage, maybe there was a nest of mice that just destroyed the place. Or maybe the roof wasn't done right the first time. When you find yourself faced with such a task, don't just pick up the first hat you see.This hat, this roof, is a part of your house. It needs to look good and function appropriately.

Don't let your top remain uncovered and trust in the professionals to do the job right.
