New wildfires break out in San Diego prompting officials to issue urgent evacuation orders

San Diego faced multiple wildfires on Tuesday, prompting school closures, power cutoffs, and urgent evacuation orders.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles officials remain on high alert due to strong winds and dry weather conditions.

Firefighters have battled three separate fires in the area of Northern San Diego that posed immediate threat to life in the area.

The largest of all, the Lilac Fire, affecting 85 acres. This led to evacuations in Bonsall, a small town roughly 45 minutes from San Diego.

As per reports, 86 residents were evacuated and two buildings were affected by the fire. Working tirelessly, firefighters have successfully contained approximately 50 percent of the Lilac Fire.

“Firefighters are making good progress on the fire. The fire activity has decreased significantly,” San Diego County Fire said in an update posted on X Tuesday morning.

The Riverview Fire, a second blaze, burned an acre of land before firefighters managed to contain it.

The Pala fire broke out an hour after the Lilac Fire, at around 2:30 a.m. local time. It burned around 17 acres of land.

San Diego County District 5 Supervisor Jim Desmond wrote on X that “Mandatory evacuation orders are in place, and I cannot stress enough the importance of evacuating immediately and listening to first responders.”

Desmond added that “Santa Ana winds are creating dangerous fire conditions — please do not wait to leave if you are in an evacuation zone.”

Emergency shelters for people and animals have been organized, and the San Diego Humane Society sent a response team to rescue six stranded horses.

The Red Cross mobilized volunteers to provide support at a temporary evacuation center in Escondido.
