A backfire was set in east Chula Vista, for the Harris fire. Something went wrong, though, and a community in East CV that was under voluntary evacuation, is now under mandatory evacuation. Bella Lago. The south east side of Spring Valley, which borders northeast CV, is also under mandatory evacuation. Bella Lago is about 4 miles to the east of us, but we are not under evacuation orders, voluntray or otherwise (at this time).
Went over to a local park right down the street...the view from there is pretty similar, and scary, as the view of the 2003 fires.
Unfortunate. They need to get the word out
NO BACKFIRES UNTIL THE WIND SLOWS DOWN !
Hopefully tomorrow evening or Wednesday.
