Comments from David Ross as of 8 p.m. on Tuesday

A fire is burning up the side of Palomar Mountain along the Nate Harrison Grade and volunteer firefighters are trying to keep it from cresting the mountain at the County Road Dept. on State Park Road.

From Valley Center High School you can see the fire burning along the ridgeline.

In Pauma Valley along Hwy 76 our reporter Ray Flores says that Valley Nursery has burned.

Hellhole Canyon is still burning with winds picking up again out of the east to the west.

Ray reports that Woods Valley Road is quiet. Authorities have closed Old Castle Road near the Blackinton Airport to incoming traffic. That means they will let you leave but they won't let you come back to Valley Center for the duration.
