Residents evacuated as brush fire threatens homes near San Diego

Residents are being evacuated in the San Diego area as firefighters are battling a brush fire that is threatening homes. 

CalFire San Diego has stated that they were helping the City of Poway deal with a vegetation fire near Pomerado Road and Ted Williams Parkway. The fire started around 1 p.m. on Monday and the city is located approximately 34 miles away from San Diego.

“Please monitor for official updates, available resources can be found at http://AlertSanDiego.org,” CalFire San Diego posted on X.

This is the second fire to strike southern California on Monday as a small brush fire broke out in Los Angeles near the iconic Griffith Observatory.

The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed that the fire was “fully extinguished in 31 minutes” and that the fire never grew above a quarter acre.

“All threatened structures were successfully defended and undamaged,” the alert read.

The Los Angeles Police Department later confirmed that a witness spotted a young man who had lit a fire in the area and left.

Officers arrested the suspect, who they said was likely a transient, and took him into custody. His identity has not been released.
