Baja Fire today (11/16)?


Anyone else see the smoke plumes from San Diego today. I was on Mt. Helix this am and I could see huge smoke clouds blowing out to see. Looked like south of Rosarito from here.... Any details from those of you in Baja?

OK, answered my own question. Seems there are two fires south of the border. One if TJ which is a huge trash fire and the other is south of Rosarito and mentioned in this article.

Drove up from Calafia, Rosarito around 11 am this morning. Fire was located just north of Real Del Mar Golf Course. I could see flames from road.

The smoke from the Rosarito/Real del Mar was very intense and covered the sky over our SA del Mar home. Was put out in the early afternoon. Heard a couple of different causes ranging from trash burn gone out of control to a downed power pole from the high winds. Will post if I hear an update...
