RAMONA WILDFIRE FORCES 1100 TO EVACUATE
NORTH COUNTY ---- A local emergency was called today after a 3,000-acre wildfire fueled by Santa Ana winds burned on both sides of Highway 78 near Witch Creek Road and spread toward Ramona, causing road closures, power outages and the evacuations of some 11,000 residents, authorities said.
The flames are whipped by 40 to 45 mph winds, with gusts reaching 70 mph, the National Weather Service reported. The gusts are too strong for firefighting aircraft to safely fly, said Battalion Chief Kelly Zombro, of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The fire is burning between the areas burned by the 2003 Cedar fire, the 273,000-acre blaze that destroyed homes and took the life of one firefighter, Zombro said.
