A mid-afternoon house fire in Clairemont displaced five people Friday.
The non-injury blaze erupted about 3 p.m. Friday in the 5000 block of Mable Way, just west of Interstate 805 and north of Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
It took crews roughly 15 minutes to extinguish the flames, which seemed to be centered in the rear of the single-family home, SDFRD Capt. Jason Shanley said.
The American Red Cross was called in to help the residents of the house, all adults, arrange for temporary shelter.
The cause of the fire was under investigation, Shanley said.
