No more fire threat to city of San Diego

Posted @ 2:19 PM

San Diego Fire Chief Tracy Jarman said this afternoon there's no longer a fire threat to the city of San Diego.

However, Ron Lane, director of the county's Office of Emergency Services, said parts of the county are still very much at risk.

"There is still danger out there," Lane said at the county's 1 p.m. briefing on the latest fire conditions.

Jarman gave the latest totals on the city's fire damage: She said 10,700 acres have burned, 366 homes were destroyed and 34 other homes damaged.

County Sheriff Bill Kolender said that there are more than three dozen people reported missing in the county, and 18 of those are at risk because of health reasons.
