Rancho Santa Fe under mandatory evacuation now.
Cal State San Marcos being evacuated.

Those places are miles apart !!
May have already burned past Escondido to the north...
San Diego is in big trouble.
They’re different fires. The University fire is on the hills above it... started about 3:30 this morning. Funny thing is, I just saw something on the tube to the effect that residents of the area could return so I’m really confused now.
To cap it off, some idiot took it upon himself to pull the manual pull station for our fire alarm system. Guess he’d decided to evacuate and didn’t want to be the only one. Piercing enunciator and bells ringing. Normally the maintenance crew would come shut it off, but they disappeared at 10 today. What fun!!
