San Diego County is the latest to get hit with wildfires, with the Pala, Riverview and Lilac blazes breaking out Tuesday.

The Pala fire started along U.S. Interstate 15 at 12:28 a.m., according to the North County Fire Protection District. The fire’s progress stopped by 2:31 a.m., with temporary evacuation orders lifted.

The fire, 48 miles north of San Diego, covered 16.8 acres, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

The Lilac fire started at 1:19 a.m. near Bonsall, the district posted on X. 

The fire, 44 miles north of San Diego, grew to 80 acres, with 10% contained, per the Cal Fire website. 

The fire’s progress stopped at 9:48 a.m., Cal Fire officials said on X. Evacuation orders have been put in place for zones between Pala Mesa and Bonsall.

Two buildings were damaged by the Lilac fire, with at least 86 residents displaced, the North County FPD posted on X.

The Riverview fire broke out near Fallbrook. It was fully contained before 4 a.m., the North County FPD said on X.

That third fire spread to an acre before its progress was halted, Cal Fire said on X.

Neither fire agency has said what caused the fires, but San Diego County, along with the wider region, remains under a red flag fire warning due to the Santa Ana winds.

Winds were expected to be 25-40 mph, with gusts of up to 60 mph in most areas and up to 75 mph in mountainous areas, Tuesday, the National Weather Service’s San Diego office posted Monday.

Fires are still ongoing in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The Palisades and Eaton fires that started on Jan. 7 have killed at least 27 people and burned at least 14,000 structures. The Palisades fire was 61% contained and the Eaton 87% curbed as of Tuesday morning, reported The Associated Press.
