Firefighters continued battling a wildfire that blackened over 24 acres in a remote and rugged area west of Interstate 15 in the far northern reaches of San Diego County today.
The blaze erupted shortly before 3:30 p.m. Tuesday off Sandia Creek Road in De Luz, north of Fallbrook and just south of the Riverside County line, according to Cal Fire.
As of 6:35 a.m. Wednesday, the blaze had grown to 24 acres. Containment was at 35%.
"Hard work was put in overnight. Humidity also played a part in fighting the fire. Crews will be assigned today for hot spot checks and to mitigate hazards," Cal Fire Capt. Mike Cornette told City News Service.
All evacuation orders have also been lifted in the area, according to the California Highway Patrol.
There was no structural damage or injuries and the forward progress of the fire has been stopped, Cal Fire officials reported.
Some 106 personnel were assigned to the fire, including 17 engines, four helicopters and four water tenders.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
