Description:
The firestorm that erupted in San Diego County in the fall of 2007 devastated the area. This firestorm is considered to be the second most destructive fire in the history of the county, just after the Cedar Fire of 2003. High heat, low humidity, Santa Ana winds with gusts up to 100 mph, and other conditions provided optimal conditions for the wildfires to thrive.
