Two small brush fires were sparked Friday afternoon in North County
A fire was sparked in the area of Bonsall after noon in the 3800 block of Lake Garden Drive. The so-called Garden Fire has burned one acre so far and has a moderate rate of spread.
The San Diego County Office of Emergency Services said that evacuations have been ordered north of state Route 76 east of Grid Road and almost all the way over to Interstate 15. “An Evacuation Order requires immediate movement out of the affected area due to an imminent threat to life,” according to the OES.
A large plume of dark smoke is dwarfing the surrounding neighborhood. At least one structure has been damaged by flames.
Aerial assets are involved fighting the blaze, making retardant drops, as are ground crews.
A second brush fire in San Pasqual Valley was ignited on Friday afternoon, burning not far from residential neighborhoods. That fire began near the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in the 14800 block of San Pasqual Valley Road. Officials said the fire has the potential to burn 10 acres but was holding at 1-2 acres.
NBC 7 is sending SkyRanger 7 to cover the fire and should have live coverage soon.
