TOP STORY:
A brush fire in Lakeside that destroyed six homes and injured two people Monday afternoon was deemed 100% contained.
According to Cal Fire San Diego, the Coches Fire erupted just after 3 p.m. near the 13300 block of Los Coches Road and quickly spread to a mobile home complex.
Firefighters on the ground and in the air worked as quickly as possible to stop the blaze as flames increased in size.
Several people near Los Coches Road and Business Route 8 were forced to evacuate, with a temporary shelter established at Viejas Casino in Alpine. An overnight shelter was available at the Lakeside Community Center.
By roughly 5 p.m., crews stopped the fire’s forward rate of spread, but not before flames destroyed six homes and burned just over 5 acres.
Cal Fire officials said the Coches Fire was fully contained by 10:30 p.m.; all evacuation orders were lifted by 10:30 p.m.
Authorities said one person suffered smoke inhalation, while another person suffered burns in the fire.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine's president and a regional official say at least 21 people have been killed when a Russian glide bomb has struck a village in eastern Ukraine as pensions were being distributed to older people.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a post on Telegram on Tuesday that the bomb hit the village of Yarova in the Donetsk region. He called the attack “frankly brutal.”
Zelenskyy urged the international community to make Russia pay economically for its invasion through additional sanctions. He wrote that “the world should not remain silent" or “inactive.”
