Two fires erupted in the San Diego area on Thursday afternoon, prompting evacuations. The Border 2 Fire, which broke out in the Otay Mountain Wilderness area east of Chula Vista and north of the U.S.-Mexico border, has burned approximately 4,250 acres, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

In the last few days, firefighters have battled multiple fires in the hills around Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Winds will linger through at least Friday morning, according to the weather service.
