UPDATE (Oct. 8,7 a.m.): All evacuations associated with the Sandia Fire were lifted. The fire, which burned at least 24 acres, was at 35% containment, according to Cal Fire officials.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A brush fire that burned more than 20 acres along Sandia Creek Road in De Luz Tuesday has been stopped, Cal Fire says.
According to Cal Fire, the Sandia Fire burned 24 acres as of 6:30 p.m. The blaze is now 10 percent contained.
The fire burned in a remote area with difficult access, but Sky 10 did show video of water drops from firefighter aircraft.
The fire was near the border of San Diego and Riverside counties. At 4:45 p.m., Meteorologist Megan Parry said humidity in the area was around 60%, which means the fire was less likely to spread rapidly since it isn't as dry; however, firefighters would feel the brunt of the humidity as they battle the blaze.
