Firefighters extinguished an evening blaze Friday that damaged a trailer and spread into vegetation alongside state Route 67 in Lakeside, according to Cal Fire San Diego.
A man who told the group of hikers he was with on El Capitan Hiking Trail that he was hot, tired, and thirsty, later died following symptoms of heat exhaustion.
After four lives were lost due to house fires in San Diego County just this week, Cal Fire is urging people to be aware of fire safety inside their homes.
