SAN DIEGO, Calif. – As a car accident attorney in California, I’m always concerned about the safety of our communities. I’m closely monitoring the situation with the Interstate Fire that ignited earlier today in San Diego County. I stand with the firefighters who are tirelessly working to contain the blaze and with any residents affected.
According to the Fresno Bee, the National Interagency Fire Center reported the Interstate Fire first at 12:36 PM. This occurred today, October 20th, 2024. It is burning on federal land managed by the United States Forest Service.
Unfortunately, there is currently no information available on the fire’s containment status or the cause of the fire. I will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.

Understanding Wildfire Liability in California
Wildfires can be devastating events, causing significant property damage, injuries, and even fatalities. Determining liability for wildfires can be complex, but here are some key points to consider:
- Negligence: If someone causes a wildfire through negligence, like improper disposal of a cigarette or faulty equipment, that person or entity may face liability for damages.
- Utility companies: In California, utility companies face liability for wildfires caused by their equipment, regardless of negligence.
- Government agencies: Government agencies face liability for wildfires if they fail to manage fire risks or suppress fires effectively.
If you have suffered losses due to a wildfire, it’s important to consult with an experienced California wildfire attorney to understand your legal options.
