A new wildfire was reported today at 5:58 a.m. in San Diego County. The wildfire has been burning on private land. At this time, there is no data on the containment status of the fire and the cause has yet to be determined.

With many parts of Los Angeles County still smoldering from wildfires, the expected rain this weekend would seem like a welcome relief. But how the rain falls could make the difference between a disaster respite or a disaster repeat.

The fires come as San Diego County mountains and valleys, along with other parts of Southern California, remain under a red flag warning.
