SAN DIEGO, CA — The spread of a brush fire along the U.S./Mexico border west of Marron Valley in the Otay Mountain BLM Wilderness has stopped, a Cal Fire spokesman said Monday. Cooler weather is helping a 60-person crew fight the blaze, which started overnight, and stands at 25 acres and 10% containment, according to Cal Fire. "Everything is looking good" in terms of fire containment, said Capt. Thomas Shoots, adding firefighters plan to stay at the site Monday night and Tuesday. There have been no injuries and no structural damage, Shoots said. It was unclear what started the fire. — City News Service
