Firefighters worked to contain a brush fire that broke out near a shopping mall in Santee, California, just after 6:30 pm on Sunday, March 29.
The fire, which started in a riverbed situated between homes and a line of shops, burned about four acres before forward progression was halted at around 7:15 pm, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.
