LAKESIDE, Calif. —
Forward progress has been stopped on a fire burning in San Diego County Monday afternoon that prompted evacuation orders, Cal Fire said.
Aerial footage showed the Coches Fire had burned multiple structures in Lakeside, as aircraft worked to stop its spread with water and retardant.
The fire was burning north of Interstate 8 at Los Coches Road. As of 3:30 p.m. it had burned 10 acres, Cal Fire said. It was stopped at 5.3 acres and was 5% contained, Cal Fire said an hour later.
Containment refers to a barrier, whether it be natural or manmade, that prevents a wildfire from spreading.
