yeah, Old Fire is actually really small compare to the one in San Diego, but it high a heavy populated area first, and it's the most expensive right now in terms of damage. L A Times has a huge article about the stand off in Arrowhead. San Diego though is in huge danger, as at any moment, the fire could go into San Diego, and take out the whole city, that's how big that fire is, it's burned way more than the others, and is in Mexico too now.

Let me sum it up since I live in San Diego...the fire started in Ramona[San Diego County] an east county rural city northeast of populated San Diego. The lost hunter started the fire in Ramona and CDF let the fire blowup.

At the same time Santa Ana winds were in affect in Southern California. Santa Ana winds are high speed hot desert winds blow into the city from east/northwest to the west out the ocean. Usually winds blow from west to east from the ocean for those who don't know. Ok so for a while the fires blew into the city and burned down alot of homes then the Santa Ana winds died and we were saved.

Now the wind are back to normal...and the fire is going the other way...now east county is on fire.

I know, I'm from San Bernardino. The Santa Ana winds start in San Bernardino, when the high pressure builds in the high desert, and push into the mountains, and it comes out the Cajon Pass, and pass Devil's Canyon. It's also why the Old Fire went into the city, and not up the hill like fires usually do.
