County of San Diego Communications Office

Weather forecasters say Tropical Cyclone Hilary could bring rains and wind to San Diego County and Southern California, and county and Cal Fire officials are offering advice and free sandbags for people living in the unincorporated county.

Forecasters say Tropical Cyclone Hilary, now gaining strength of the coast of Baja California, could weaken significantly by the time it reaches Southern California. However, they said it could still bring heavy rains and potential flooding to parts of San Diego County.

County Emergency Services and Public Works road crews say people should stay alert and take precautions on the roads and offered the following tips.

Be careful on the roads. Avoid driving in heavy rain conditions but if the trip is necessary:

1. Slow down to avoid getting into an accident. It takes longer to stop when roads are wet. Allow yourself at least an extra 15 minutes or so to arrive at your destination to adjust for slower traffic.

2. Turn on your headlights to see better and make it easier for other drivers to see you. It's the law.

3. Try to drive toward the middle lanes as water tends to gather in outside lanes.

4. Defog your windows for better visibility. Rain can cause windows to fog up. Along the same lines, check your windshield wipers preferably before it rains again and replace them as needed.

5. Avoid driving through deep water because it can affect your brakes. If you cannot avoid it, test your brakes afterward to make sure they've dried out and are working properly.

6. Turn around, don't drown. In heavy rains, never drive through a flooded roadway if you cannot see the pavement. Even a few inches of water running at the right velocity can sweep a car, and even a truck, and its occupants off the roadway and downstream. The same tip applies to trying to walk or swim across a flooded roadway.

7. Give the cars in front of you extra distance. The spray from their vehicles - particularly from larger trucks and buses - can hamper your vision. And giving extra space to the guy in front of you also gives you more time to brake or adjust if you need to.

8. Keep calm, don't oversteer or stomp on the brakes if you start to hydroplane or skid when your tires lose traction with the wet road. The Department of Motor Vehicles says keep the steering wheel straight and take your foot off the accelerator so your vehicle can slow down slowly.

9. Stay focused. Remember, it's illegal, and dangerous, to try to text or use a hand-held cell phone when you're driving.

10. Slow down for the cone zone if you see highway or road workers ahead or to your side. Watch out for DPW crews and equipment.

As they have in the past, the county and Cal Fire are providing free bags and/or sand at numerous fire stations for people who live in the unincorporated areas.

Rain can cause flooding and erosion, particularly in areas that are not covered by plants, landscaping, grass and trees. Rain runoff can sweep topsoil, mud, plant material and debris off land and downstream where it can damage homes, clog culverts and storm drains, and flood and damage roadways.

Sand and bags, or bags alone, will be available for unincorporated residents at the fire stations located below.

People should call ahead to double-check availability and remember to bring a shovel to fill the bags. Some stations may have a limited supply.

Sand and Bags

• De Luz: 39431 De Luz Road, Fallbrook, CA 92028 P: 760-728-2422

Cal Fire Ends Firefight Against Brush Fire Near Pala Casino

A brush fire that sparked last week along state Route 76 near Pala Casino and quickly spread to 350 acres -- prompting brief road closures and evacuation warnings -- has been fully contained.

Cal Fire San Diego said in their final update on Sunday the blaze that sparked just before 2:30 p.m. on June 26, west of the casino and east of Interstate 15, was 93% contained. Firefighters would remain on the scene until all hot spots were put out and the blaze was fully surrounded, the agency said. According to Cal Fire's incident command page, the effort has been finalized.

The fire started amid hot, dry, summer conditions at the base of a steep slope and quickly began to run up the hillside, Cal Fire Capt. Frank LoCoco said.

NBC 7's Dave Summers heard from residents effected by the evacuation warnings.

SkyRanger 7 was flying above the fire as helicopters and planes dumped water and pink fire retardant over the flames. The fire burned close to an unidentified structure at the base of a hill but was climbing up the hill away from it.

Much of the early water and retardant drops were aimed along the ridge of the hill in an effort to stop the flames from burning over the top and down the other side, LoCoco added.

Several brush fires have sparked this week in San Diego County amid hot, dry conditions. NBC 7's Nicole Gomez reports on our local fire season and shares some wildfire prevention tips.

Luckily, small pond near the origin of the fire allowed firefighting aircraft to quickly refill their tanks

Meanwhile, the main highway, SR-76, was shut down temporarily and evacuation warnings were initiated for the surrounding community.

Temporary evacuation points for residents were set up at the I-15/SR-76 Park and Ride and Valley Center High School during the peak of the Mesa Fire.

For the small rural community of Pala, it was a feeling too familiar.

Dennis Trujillo was in Temecula, just north of San Diego County, when the fire sparked. He headed back home and soon learned it was threatening his neighborhood. The closer he got, the better look he had at the tall plume of smoke rising above the burn area.

"[We were worried about] our house, for sure, and then we have some dogs, too, and a lot of personal belongings," he said.

A relief to the community, the evacuation warnings was short-lived and lifted by late Wednesday evening. At that point, the temporary shelters also closed.

No buildings were lost and no injuries were reported.

But the work for firefighters was not over. Crews would spend the next four days -- day and night -- cutting a line around the land scorched by the fire. Firefighters continued to douse the area with water and monitored hot spots for any flare-ups.

NBC 7's Dave Summers has the latest from the fire burning near Pala Casino.

The Trujillos and other residents of San Diego County's rural area know the threat of wildfires never really goes away.

"We're still in a drought, so that's a big concern because being that Pala is such a small community and we're in the valley, it's scary," Trujillo said. "It almost seems like we can get trapped."

The wildfires are amplified this year due to the state's drought.

"“We’ve actually seen more activity than we did last year…and being that last year was a pretty catastrophic fire season, burning over 4 million acres statewide, obviously that’s got us concerned," LoCoco told NBC 7 in May.

Cal Fire said as of May 5, the state had already seen seven times the number of acres consumed compared to the sae

Cal Fire investigators are working to determine the cause of the Mesa Fire.

Cal Fire is responding to a brush fire along State Route 76, east of Interstate 15 near Pala Casino. NBC 7's Dave Summers has the latest details.

A brush fire that exploded to 350 acres along State Route 76 near Pala Casino in San Diego County Wednesday -- prompting brief road closures and evacuation warnings -- is now 70% contained.

Cal Fire San Diego tweeted an update at 6 p.m. Friday saying crews "continue to work day and night, strengthening containment."

As of 8:45 p.m. Wednesday, Cal Fire San Diego said all evacuation warnings tied to the Mesa Fire had been lifted and SR-76 was open to traffic again.

Several brush fires have sparked this week in San Diego County amid hot, dry conditions. NBC 7's Nicole Gomez reports on our local fire season and shares some wildfire prevention tips.

The Mesa Fire sparked just before 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, west of the casino and east of Interstate 15 amid hot, dry, summer conditions.

By 6:45 p.m., Cal Fire said it had grown to 350 acres.

As of late Wednesday night, it was 0% contained but officials said it had a slow rate of spread. Crews would stay in the fire zone overnight to make sure the Mesa Fire didn't spread further.

"It started at the base of a very steep slope and ran up that slope relatively quickly, so we are trying to get a good stop at the ridge to keep it from spreading further," Cal Fire Capt. Frank Lococo said.

Temporary evacuation points for residents were set up at the I-15/SR-76 Park and Ride and Valley Center High School during the peak of the Mesa Fire. When the evacuation warnings and road closures were lifted, the temporary shelters closed.

Dennis Trujillo was in Temecula, just north of San Diego County, when the fire sparked. He headed back home and soon learned it was threatening his neighborhood. The closer he got, the better look he had at the tall plume of smoke rising above the burn area.

"We're still in a drought, so that's a big concern because being that Pala is such a small community and we're in the valley, it's scary. It almost seems like we can get trapped," Trujillo said.

Cal Fire investigators are working to determine the cause of the Mesa Fire.

A smoke advisory was issued in the area, and residents who can smell smoke are advised to limit physical/outdoor activity and assume air quality levels are unhealthy, especially those residents with respiratory or heart disease, the elderly, and children. Details here.

SkyRanger 7 was flying above the fire as helicopters and planes dumped water and pink fire retardant over the flames. The fire burned close to an unidentified structure at the base of a hill but was climbing up the hill away from it as of 3:20 p.m.

Much of the water and retardant drops were aimed along the ridge of the hill in an effort to stop the flames from burning over the top and down the other side, Lococo said.

A small pond near the origin of the fire allowed firefighting aircraft to quickly refill their tanks after making water dumps over the flames.

No injuries were reported and no buildings or homes were burned.

NBC 7 meteorologist Dagmar Midcap said a slightly saturated atmosphere helped crews in their fight against the Mesa Fire, and said dry fuels may have been dampened by light morning rain.

No other information was available.

BONSALL —

The decades-old Bonsall Woman’s club has settled on a new meeting place at the Pala Mesa Resort in Fallbrook. For 10 years the group has met at the San Luis Rey Downs, which is set to close Aug. 6.

But the new location will not change the agenda of the nonprofit which gives its members opportunities to build comraderie as they volunteer on projects that help the community.

Since its founding in 1980, the group has more than quadrupled its membership to 100 women, who are not all from Bonsall. Members come from surrounding areas such as Fallbrook and Oceanside out to Valley Center and Temecula.

The club is open to women of all ages and is known for its annual holiday tea and fashion show, which raise money for scholarships and area charities.

The club grew out of a bridge group with a handful of women led by La Verne Conrad who met in Bonsall in the 1970’s, when the area was mostly avocado groves and horse ranches. Conrad, who had been a member of a woman’s club in North Hollywood, spearheaded the effort to start a similar club in the rural community.

The first meeting on Jan. 16, 1980 drew 22 ladies to the old Bonsall Schoolhouse, to form the Bonsall Woman’s Club. A month later the club joined the General Federation of Women’s Clubs and the California Federation of Women’s Clubs. Members continue to participate in the art festival put on by the two clubs.

Following the club’s mission to support betterment of community and country, members are involved with projects ranging from conservation to art education. At the top of the club’s list of goals is to support area youth, the elderly and needy. Members have run food and clothing drives and donated items to Oceanside-based Brother Benno’s along with other nonprofits helping the poor and homeless.

Members crocheted afghans and donated clothing to the Oceanside-based Women’s Resource Center, made bibs for seniors at local care centers and knitted baby items for the Fallbrook Hospital. The group adopted several families that were fire victims and cleaned up trash along the San Luis Rey River as part of the Bonsall Clean-up Day.

The group is working on preserving the old schoolhouse where they first met and obtaining a historical designation from the state.

The club holds its general meetings from 10 a.m. to noon the first Thursday of the month, except July and August. The next meeting is Sept. 4 with a special program featuring opera singer Sascha LaRusso.
