On August 19, a brush fire ignited on the north side of Rose Canyon just east of Genesee, across the canyon from University City High School. It was quickly contained by San Diego Fire-Rescue and assisting agencies.
Standley Middle School student Brenden Kennedy was in the right place at the right time. He aspires to be a pilot and his hobbies are fishing, basketball and baseball. He’s also great with a camera; take a look.
