LA JOLLA REZ EVACUATION/POOMACHO

A mandatory evacuation notice has been issued for the people on the La Jolla Indian reservation. They should go to Borrego Springs. They SHOULD NOT go to the Palomar Mountain Evacuation Center, which is at the observatory.

The fire, which jumped Hwy 76 and established itself on the south face of Palomar Mountain at the base of the mountain, is now being referred to as the Poomacho Fire by Calfire. It has currently burned 20,000 acres.

I just want to say thanks for keeping your blog up to date. I live in Seattle and haven't been able to get a hold of my grandfather who lives on Paradise Mountain. Your site is the best information I'm getting - so thanks you!

David, you may not remember us, the Morans. We really appreciate the coverage of the fires. We are here in New Mexico and worried to death about our friends and family in San Diego.

You are editor now? Congrats!

Keep up the good work. We are logging in every hour with this horror going on.

Thanks again for your terrific information. Don and Jean

Just to clarify, is it being referred to as the Poomacho or the Camacho Fire?
