A significant wildfire, initially named the Border 2 Fire, broke out on Thursday, in the Otay Mountains, southeast of San Diego, near the U.S.-Mexico border.
The fire has quickly spread through the rugged landscape, driven by dry conditions and strong winds. As of now, it has scorched 566 acres and remains 0% contained, according to the San Diego County Fire Authority.
Meanwhile, over two weeks into the catastrophic wildfires in Los Angeles, California, the death toll has risen to at least 28, up from an earlier count of 27, as confirmed by the county medical examiner's office on Tuesday.

The largest blaze has ravaged 23,448 acres around the affluent Pacific Palisades neighbourhood near the coast. Further inland, the Eaton Fire has scorched 14,021 acres in the foothills around Altadena, northeast of downtown Los Angeles.
