In case you're wondering, fires can go south from San Diego County to Baja California, but they are more likely to go north. Summer winds here are more often from the south than the north.

It's surprising how often a car or truck starts a brush fire.

Does East San Diego County have regular fires? Is this locations East of the Cleveland Nation Forest? Looking to relocate but do not want to move into a an area of perpetual fires and evacuations. Thank you
