Early Tuesday, mandatory evacuations were expanded in Southern California as two wildfires continue to burn in San Diego County. The Lilac Fire and Pala Fire, which started near Bonsall and Pala Mesa, are posing threats to homes and businesses due to powerful Santa Ana wind gusts creating dangerous fire conditions, according to Cal Fire.
San Diego County District 5 Supervisor emphasized the importance of evacuating immediately and following first responders' instructions. The Santa Ana winds are exacerbating the fire risks, urging residents in evacuation zones not to delay leaving.
