Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Friday, July 11th, and we’re starting with breaking news right out of La Jolla. A lithium-ion battery exploded in an apartment complex on Prospect Street last night, sparking a fire that sent residents scrambling to safety. Firefighters responded quickly and thankfully, everyone got out safely, but officials are urging all of us to double-check batteries and chargers at home to avoid similar incidents. In other unusual headlines, a San Ysidro man has been charged by federal prosecutors after trying to smuggle 14 live toucans into the U.S. from Otay Mesa, hiding the birds in his car’s dashboard. He now faces serious charges that carry steep penalties.

Turning to city hall, after years of debate, 101 Ash Street—an office tower downtown that’s been empty due to asbestos and legal battles—is finally on track for a makeover. City leaders gave the green light to a new lease that will transform the building into affordable housing and retail space, aiming to help ease our ongoing housing crunch.

It’s shaping up to be a cloudy but comfortable day across the county. Morning temps start in the 60s, warming up to about 73 by the afternoon along the coast. The weekend should be comfortable, with a slight cooling trend and patchy clouds giving way to sun. With last week’s heat wave and brushfires in East County still fresh in our minds, remember to stay hydrated and keep an eye on local fire warnings if you’re heading outdoors.

In Spring Valley, federal Homeland Security agents in unmarked vehicles made an immigration-related arrest on Terracina Circle earlier this week, leading to concern and protest from neighbors. The situation escalated with the arrest of a local father and temporary detainment of his daughter. Authorities say they followed procedure, but the event has sparked renewed conversation about federal law enforcement’s role in our neighborhoods.

On the crime front, San Diego police received a new $480,000 grant from the state aimed at reducing impaired driving. This money will boost patrols, increase checkpoints, and fund public awareness campaigns for the next year, hopefully making our roads safer. Meanwhile, authorities are reminding everyone to use the city’s designated cool zones as the warm weather continues.

A feel-good moment comes from a construction site downtown, where a team working through the pandemic found inspiration and unity watching monarch butterflies migrate through their jobsite. As NPR shared, these small encounters brought some unexpected joy and connection during tough times.

On the real estate front, the approval for 101 Ash Street is big news for anyone watching housing or retail prospects downtown, and for job seekers, the Bayfront Shuttle Service just started rolling in Chula Vista, opening a few dozen new transit jobs.

For families and music lovers, the next few days are full of options. Pride festivities continue around Balboa Park, the Del Mar Fair is open through the weekend, and tonight we have a free concert at Liberty Station’s North Promenade. And a quick shoutout to the students at Hoover High, who just swept regionals in the summer science challenge.

Finally, a reminder to all our health care listeners, the UC San Diego Health system has just been recognized nationally for its commitment to mental wellness, with new supports now available for nearly 2,500 local medical professionals.
