The state agency Cal Fire reported 30% containment of the blaze just before 7 p.m. (10 p.m. ET) Wednesday.

CNN affiliate KTLA said at least one home was burned as 30-mph winds drove the flames.

The National Weather Service in San Diego said a red flag warning was in effect until Friday evening. Forecasters called for wind speeds between 15 and 25 mph with gusts up to 55 mph.

I just saw SanDiego in the story and I started to think of you.

I see! My dinner engagement is next Wednesday and will be across the street from the ocean, so we can make a mad dash for the waves if necessary.

Yes, What was I thinking? Wildfires cause tsunamis all the time!

I guess that's a good use for old implants. How are your new implants.  Are implants the norm for brothers in the US? Do the normal suits fit you or do you need to modify them?

40% contained is good.

 

Early Thursday, winds on the fire line were out of the east at 28 mph, gusting to 40 mph, with relative humidity at 10%.

Temperatures in the 90s and wind gusts up to 75 mph could hit mountain areas by Thursday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.

Evacuation orders were lifted on Wednesday night for residents of the Highland Springs Mobile Home Park and other areas that were threatened by flames.

Residents are being asked to use caution when driving through the fire area, and obey all posted road closures.

At least 500 people had been evacuated as hundreds of firefighters from several jurisdictions worked to contain the blaze.

They were being aided by a dozen helicopters and air tankers that made repeated water and fire-retardant drops.

Several horses were also evacuated, the Riverside County Department of Animal Services said.

The fire destroyed at least one home, belonging to Joe Kiener, who told KTLA he was “just trying to pick up the pieces and keep on going.”

He said he lost everything “except for the clothes on my back and my dog.”

Federal officials warned Wednesday that a relatively dry winter coupled with warm summer weather could make for a devastating fire season.

“Significant fire potential will be above normal” for Southern California and other areas of the West, the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho., said in its first outlook report for the 2013 fire season.

California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has responded to more than 680 wildfires this year, more than 200 over the average for the period, the agency said.
