The wildfires roaring across Southern California have burned more than
17,200 acres of land on the Yuina, Rincon, La Jolla, San Pasqual and Pala
reservations, said Jim Fletcher, superintendent for the BIA in southern
California.
Another 8,960 acres have burned on the Capitan Grande, Mesa Grande, Santa
Ysabel, Barona, Jamul and Inaja-Cosmit reservations.
The fires have caused at least $1 billion in damage in San Diego County
alone and have led to the largest evacuation in state history. At least
500,000 people have been evacuated from their homes, including thousands of
tribal members.
