(Fires in the mountains)…The smoke is drifting into Imperial County.
The Skyline Fire was first reported at noon Thursday in Jamul. Residents in the area were evacuated, but Cal Fire says the evacuation order was lifted Thursday evening. The report Friday morning said the fire had burned about 100 acres, and was 40 percent contained. At around 1:40 Friday afternoon a brush fire was reported near the Sycamore Landfill. It was dubbed the Border 7 Fire. The Friday morning report indicated the fire had burned about 90 acres. No structures were ever threatened. They said the fire was 50 percent contained. At just before 4:00 Friday afternoon a third fire was reported about 20 miles from the Skyline Fire, near the Mexican border. Very little information has been released on that fire. The cause of all the fires is still being investigated.
