On Monday, December 26, 2011, at 8:20 p.m., the Heartland Communications Center received a report of smoke rising from the roof of a commercial structure in the 12500 block of Lakeshore Dr. Five structural engines, one truck company, one ALS medic unit, and Division 4106 (Kirkpatrick) were dispatched to the alarm. Enroute to the fire, additional calls were received now stating there were "flames" on the roof of the building.
Upon the arrival of Engine 1 and Medic 1, firefighters observed a commercial occupancy charged with smoke and light smoke showing from the roof of the building. Crews pulled attack lines and made entry into the occupancy to discover a commercial clothing dryer had ignited, possibly spreading fire to the roof.

Crews discovered that the fire was isolated to the dryer unit. After partial dismantling of the unit crews were able to fully extinguish the fire.
A total of 12 Lakeside Fire personnel responded to the fire, assisted by crews from Santee and CalFire.
