Viewing from the cams at Mount San Miguel, the fireline has already made it down to the Otay Lakebed on the northeast side along Otay Lakes Road. That would indicate based on rudimentary mapping that this fire is actually closer to 5,000 acres than 800. Big question marks on whether or not the road will hold the fire south of Mount San Miguel. Lot of land out there hasn’t had fire since 2007.

Night flying copters did a good job to help slow this fire advance.
