Odd-smelling air and concerns over the impacts of a lithium ion battery storage fire in Escondido fueled speculation around North San Diego County, especially coastal communities, about causes and responsibility Friday, Sept. 6.
If you’re noticing an orange hue to the sun today into the weekend and smoke blended with the monsoon clouds, and perhaps a hint of a burned pine-like scent, the source is a wildfire just south of the U.S.-Mexico border, according to CalFire.
Evacuation orders and warnings remained in place Friday, Sept. 6, as fire and hazardous-material crews continued to monitor a lithium ion battery fire in west Escondido.
Mandatory evacuation orders are in place Thursday, Sept. 5, for an SDG&E battery storage fire in Escondido, according to city, county and media reports.
Oceanside city officials and dignitaries thanked firefighters and others Wednesday, June 26, who worked to save the community’s pier from a fire in late April.
The Oceanside Fire Department, working with federal authorities, continues to investigate the source of the April 25 fire that burned the west end of the city’s pier as leaders aim to reopen a portion of the structure to the public between Friday, May 10, and Memorial Day, according to an update from officials.
Crews continued to douse a major fire at the end of the Oceanside Pier on Friday, April 26, as community and regional leaders pledged to get the damaged portion rebuilt as soon as possible.
Smoke from a significant fire at the Oceanside Pier could be seen throughout North San Diego County as crews worked to extinguish the blaze during the late afternoon Thursday, April 25.
Blaze is the second near homes in the city in a week
