A sign on the front door of D’Carlos Restaurant in Ramona on Aug. 21 states that it is temporarily closed. The restaurant had a fire in its water heater room during the early hours of Aug. 18. (Elizabeth Marie Himchak)<\/p>\nThe D\u2019Carlos Restaurant is temporarily closed due to a fire erupting in the restaurant\u2019s water heater room in the early hours of Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
The fire was reported to Cal Fire\/San Diego County Fire at 12:41 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18 and fire crews were at the scene at 1347 Main St. by 12:49 a.m., said Fire Capt. Josh Cormode, a public information officer for Cal Fire\/San Diego County Fire.<\/p>\n
The fire was quickly extinguished and the incident was cleared at 3 a.m., Cormode said.<\/p>\n
Heat from the water heater is believed to be the source of the fire, which extended into the walls, he said.<\/p>\n
