Grade Fire Contained Thanks to Air and Ground Crews | San Diego News

Published 3 weeks, 5 days ago
Description

A fast-moving wildfire erupted in the Cleveland National Forest under brutal dry conditions, but crews pulled off a major win—keeping flames pinned east of East Grade Road and stopping them from climbing Palomar Mountain. With winds blowing away from the mountain and 300 firefighters deploying air tankers, helicopters, and ground teams across cattle lands, they battled heat and mosquitoes all day—and into the night. Though smoke plumes were thick and hotspots remain, containment was achieved, averting a bigger disaster. The fight isn’t over, but the mountain’s safety is secured for now.
