Labor Day brush fire
On Labor Day Monday, September 5, 2005, a small brush fire erupted and burned parts of Rancho Peñasquitos and Black Mountain Open Space Park . [4] The wildfire quickly grew to 200 acres (0.81 km 2 ) , and triggered the evacuation of 200 homes in Rancho Peñasquitos, before further growth was stopped by firefighters. [4] [5] The fire was fully extinguished by September 7. [6] [5] Despite its small size, the brush fire was the worst wildfire to affect San Diego City in two years, since the Cedar Fire of 2003. [5] The wildfire resulted in 6 injuries, but did not result in structural damages. [6] [5] The brush fire determined to have been started by a teenage boy, who was subsequently arrested. [6]
