Fire is boxed in with Retardant, looks like lots of mop up in and around a couple destroyed out buildings and vehicles. Last size update was 60 acres.

Fire was caused by electrical failure (powerlines down) in Mexico right along the border fence that quickly spread to vegetation on the U.S. side of the border per Cal Fire San Diego on Twitter.
