July 20, 2012 (San Diego’s East County) – A 1,500 fire burning in Mexico is putting up a lot of smoke visible across East County, but poses no current threat to the U.S., Cal-Fire spokesman Mike Mohler told ECM.
The fire is currently burning southwest of Otay Mountain. It did cross briefly into the U.S. late today, burning approximately one acre in a creek bed. “We have one engine out there keeping an eye on it,” Mohler added.
