This afternoon, a few hundred yards or so from my cabin on Palomar Mountain, the U.S. Forest Service assisted by Palomar Mountain Volunteer Fire Department and Cal Fire in knocking down a structure fire that turned out to have in an outbuilding.
The fire started before 2 p.m. on Crestline, which is one of the two main residential areas on the mountain. Just about every fire agency in the area sent units, including air attack planes, to deal with this one, which threatened to spread into the surrounding brush. The mountain has very low humidity right now, so any fire like this is a big threat.
The photo was taken during the fire, and is apparently a small explosion in the outbuilding.
