According to an SCPD incident report, when the officer arrived, he could see light smoke drifting behind the Sierra House and an active fire on a wall of a building at 111 S. Texas Street (Gospel Mission). The officer used his fire extinguisher to put out the wall fire, then noticed a pile of leaves on fire south of the Sierra House. The officer also observed John Elizalde, 43, address listed as homeless, sitting on a bench in the immediate area.
