SAN DIEGO (AP) — A group of homeowners has sued a golf course owner for negligence, stemming from a wildfire that destroyed eight houses, two businesses and an apartment complex near San Diego.

The lawsuit filed last week in San Diego Superior Court blames Omni La Costa Resort & Spa LLC for the May 14 wildfire and says it may have been started by equipment.
