Evacuation orders are in effect near San Diego as at least three fires broke out in northern San Diego County overnight, including the Lilac and Pala fires, which grew to 50 and 30 acres, respectively, with 0% containment as of Tuesday morning.
The Lilac Fire triggered multiple rounds of evacuations in Bonsall, a small community about 45 minutes north of San Diego. "Immediate threat to life," read an urgent warning from Cal Fire issued shortly before 5 a.m. "This is a lawful order to LEAVE NOW. The area is lawfully closed to public access."
According to a social media post from Cal Fire Tuesday morning, the Lilac Fire is burning along I-15 just north of West Lilac Road. The fire has spread to 50 acres and is continuing to grow at a "moderate rate of spread," Cal Fire said, with firefighters engaging in "life safety and structure defense."
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles County, the two deadly wildfires that destroyed over 10,000 structures and killed at least 27 people continue to burn. The region remained under red flag warnings, worrying officials that the Palisades and Eaton fires may spread or additional blazes ignite.
There is also the Pala Fire in San Diego which is 0% contained but has only burned 17 acres. Evacuation orders have been lifted.
Hurricane-force winds were recorded across San Diego County Monday night and Tuesday morning, according to preliminary reports from the National Weather Service. An 89 mph wind gust was recorded in the San Diego mountains around 9 p.m.
According to the San Diego Sheriff's Office, evacuation orders have been issued for people living in the SDC-0236, SDC-0285, SDC-0286, SDC-0287, SDC-0288 and SDC-0289 zones. Meanwhile, evacuation warnings are in effect for people living in the SDC-0282, SDC-0283, SDC-0325, and SDC-0326 zones.
