A fire ripped through a three-story apartment building under construction in Pacific Beach early Sunday and damaged two nearby homes.
The three-alarm fire was reported at 1:04 a.m. in the construction site at Jewell and Hornblend streets.
Some 100 firefighters were called to fight the blaze and brought it under control by 2:30 a.m. One firefighter was hospitalized with minor injuries, according to San Diego Fire-Rescue officials.
The flames spread to two nearby single-family homes, which appeared to be heavily damaged. Several parked vehicles were damaged, and power was out in the area.
Neighbors told a videographer at the scene that transients had been in the constructions site at night.
The fire is under investigation by the Metro Arson Strike Team.
