"The fire is growing with a moderate rate of spread and structures are threatened," Cal Fire said as it issued evacuation orders.

The Lilac Fire triggered multiple rounds of evacuations in Bonsall, a small community about 45 minutes north of San Diego. "Immediate threat to life," read an urgent warning from Cal Fire issued shortly before 5 a.m. "This is a lawful order to LEAVE NOW. The area is lawfully closed to public access."
