The city of Chula Vista is staging voluntary evacuations for eastern portions of the city as the deadly Harris fire continues to cut a path west.
The fire, which has burned 20,000 acres and is 5 percent contained, has killed one person and injured 18 more, including four firefighters.

A smaller fire is burning about 400 acres in the Descanso area but is expected to be fully contained Tuesday.

Thanks. We're far west of the fire and weren't in danger.
Snowing ashes and heavy air is all.
