SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - More than a week after it broke out in the Bonsall area, the Lilac Fire is now 100 percent contained.
Cal Fire San Diego said the 4,100-acre fire was fully contained as of Saturday morning. The blaze erupted on Dec. 7 just off Interstate 15 and State Route 76. Santa Ana wind conditions fanned the flames westward, charring more than 4,000 acres by late that night.
The blaze destroyed 157 structures and damaged 64 others, forcing thousands to evacuate in the North County.
At least six injuries were reported. Three civilians suffered non-life threatening burn injuries and another was treated for smoke inhalation.
One firefighter suffered a dislocated shoulder but reset his arm and jumped back into battling the fire. A second firefighter was hospitalized for smoke inhalation.
