June 2, 2013 (San Pasqual) – Cal-Fire has informed East County Magazine that the 15-acre Boden Fire is burning off Highway 78 and Boden Canyon Road in the vicinity of the Boden Canyon preserve. The fire is in the San Pasqual Valley west of Ramona, burning in a westerly direction with winds approximately 10 miles per hour.
“There are no structures in the area,” Mike Mohler with Cal-Fire told ECM. The fire is burning at a moderate rate of speed. “Aircraft are staging at San Pasqual Academy and it sounds like the aircraft are holding it,” he said, adding that there is no current threat to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park located about four miles east of the blaze.
Scanner traffic and online posts have referenced a fire at Dye Road in Ramona as well as a brush fire in the Orasco Guejito Truck Trails area near State Route 78 in San Pasqual. These reports refer to the same fire, Mohler confirmed.
