When firefighters arrived on scene, they found heavy smoke and flames coming from a building housing several businesses and called for additional units, an Escondido Fire Department public information officer said.

Two businesses were destroyed in the fire – Magic Shop San Diego and Eric's Sandwich Shop – and the roof of the structure collapsed. However, the fire was able to be prevented from spreading to other nearby businesses thanks to a fire wall, the Escondido Fire Department confirmed.
