Crews fought the flames of the Bernardo Fire on Tuesday afternoon in the Black Mountain Open Space Park off Camino del Sur and San Dieguito Road in the Rancho Penasquitos area. Near the San Dieguito Trail Head, water and retardant drops could be seen — helping keep flames at bay from dozens of homes on the hillsides. Many homeowners heeded calls to evacuate while some doused hot spots in their yards. For latest coverage of the fire, see our latest story.
