Listen ""San Diego Local Pulse: Brush Fire Contained, Affordable Housing Grants, and Community Celebrations""
Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Saturday, August 2. We start with important breaking news: yesterday, a brush fire broke out in Rancho Bernardo near West Bernardo Drive. Thanks to the quick response from San Diego Fire-Rescue, the forward spread was stopped before it reached homes. Fire crews remain on-site today to monitor for hotspots, and all evacuation orders have now been lifted. Please continue to give way to emergency vehicles if you’re driving in that area.Today’s weather brings partly cloudy skies this morning, giving way to sun for most of the afternoon. Temperatures will range from the mid-seventies along the coast up to the low eighties inland. Winds are expected to stay light throughout the afternoon, so it should be a great day for outdoor activities at Balboa Park, the Embarcadero, or your favorite neighborhood spots. Looking ahead, we’ll see more of the same tomorrow, with only a slight chance of patchy fog overnight.In transportation developments, travelers to San Diego International Airport will notice improvements, as a new three-lane road has opened, designed to ease congestion on Harbor Drive.
