SDG&E

Firefighters stopped a vegetation fire that broke out in the Otay Mesa neighborhood Saturday at 10 acres, officials said.

Crews with Cal Fire San Diego and the Chula Vista Fire Department responded to the blaze — dubbed Border 30 Fire — on Wueste Way, which had "limited access for ground resources," Cal Fire said in a post on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter.

Fire officials reported that they were making "good progress" before halting the fire about an hour later at around 6:45 p.m. Crews remained at the scene afterward to clean up.

No structures were threatened.

The fire had potential to scorch 20 acres and was burning east, away from the nearby water treatment center, Cal Fire said.
