| episode_narrative | Mid-May was marked by a period of very hot, dry and windy conditions. This included an unusually strong Santa Ana wind event with a 1036 mb surface high over the northern Great Basin. Wind speeds were as high as 40-45 mph in SW California and 60 to 80 mph in the foothills and mountains. Over the course of four days, 8 major fires raged across San Diego County due to various causes. Several other smaller brush fires, including the Freeway Fire (56 acres near Naval Weapons Station on Camp Pendleton). At one point on the 15th, 9 fires were burning at once, many in and around residential/populated areas of north San Diego County. In total, these fires burned just under 27,000 acres, causing over $50 million in property damage and the cost to fight the fires themselves. Only minor injuries were reported and no deaths directly attributed to the fires. |
| event_narrative | The River Fire broke out at 1112 PST on the 14th, in Oceanside, starting in the San Luis Rey River riverbed. Homes and an elementary school in the area were evacuated. The Oceanside Unified School District closed all schools on the 15th. On the evening of the 16th, the fire was 100% contained, after it had burned 105 acres of land, confined to the river bed. A man was arrested on the 15th and charged with arson, after witnesses saw him adding brush to the flames, but authorities do not believe he started the fire. Official cause is still unknown. |
