California fires updates: Death toll in Los Angeles fires rises to 29

Evacuations were ordered south of the border in Tijuana when a brush fire ignited and quickly spread, destroying eight homes, officials said.

According to the Tijuana Fire Department, a fire broke out in a canyon Tuesday in the Mexican border town 20 miles south of San Diego, requiring the evacuation of about 80 people.

“Due to weather conditions, the flames quickly spread to some nearby homes,” the Tijuana Fire Department said in a statement.

Fire officials praised fire crews that rapidly responded to the blaze, saying preventing injuries.

The fire came amid strong Santa Ana winds buffeting a large area of the southwest, prompting "particularly dangerous situation" fire alerts from Ventura County north of Los Angeles to south of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Red Flag fire warnings issued for Southern California are expected to remain in place through Friday.

There have been at least 28 confirmed fatalities linked to the Palisades and Eaton fires in Los Angeles County, according to the Department of Medical Examiner.

The Eaton Fire, which spread over 14,000 acres through the Altadena neighborhood, killed at least 17 individuals while the Palisades Fire, which burned over 23,000 acres from the mountains to the coast, killed 11 others, according to the agency.

An evacuation order was issued early Tuesday for the area near Old Highway 395 and W. Lilac Road in Bonsall, a community in an unincorporated area in northern San Diego, officials said.

"An evacuation order has been issued for people who live in the red shaded areas as shown on the maps below," the San Diego Sheriff's office said. "It means there is an immediate threat and you need to leave right now."

Two wildfires ignited early Tuesday in San Diego, California's Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said.

The Lilac Fire had burned about 20 acres at a moderate rate of speed and was zero percent contained, Cal Fire’s San Diego department said in a statement posted on social media.

The Pala Fire, which was burning at a slow rate of speed, had burned about 30 acres and was also zero percent contained, the department said in another post.
