A late-afternoon house fire in Mira Mesa left one person injured Wednesday.
The blaze erupted about 5:15 p.m. in the 10400 block of Greenford Drive, just north of Gold Coast Drive, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
Firefighters rescued a man in his 60s from inside the burning single-story home while extinguishing the flames, which took about half an hour, the city agency reported. Paramedics took the victim to a hospital for treatment of burns of undisclosed severity.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
