    Updated Apr 22, 2016

    SAN DIEGO COUNTY – If residents thought the El Niño rains this season lowered the region’s wildfire risk, they’re going to be disappointed.

  • Pets of the Week

    Updated Apr 22, 2016

    FALLBROOK – Willie is a small, male Chihuahua mix, light brown in color, about 2- to 3-years old. He is neutered and microchipped and up-to-date on shots.
