The #Posta3Fire continues to blaze through portions of San Diego County as firefighters and local authorities battle to bring the situation under control. According to a Facebook post by CAL FIRE/San Diego County Fire, the fire currently stands at 350 acres and is 25% contained, with the forward rate of spread being halted. Efforts overnight have strengthened control lines and extinguished emerging hot spots.
The wildfire, which started in the 3000 block of La Posta Road and Old Highway 80 in Campo, forced the opening of a Temporary Evacuation Point at the Golden Acorn Casino for displaced residents. As the chaos unfolds, San Diego Sheriff's deputies and CAL FIRE/San Diego County Firefighters keep a vigilant presence, helping to guide and protect those fleeing the region. Loaded with their important belongings, travelers navigate cautiously amidst the enveloping smoke.
CAL FIRE and San Diego County firefighters are still working hard to control the fire. As the community faces this ongoing threat, authorities are focused on pushing back the flames to keep everyone safe. Residents who had to evacuate are finding temporary shelter in the places set up for them.
