SAN DIEGO—A day after the Del Mar fire, with all evacuation orders and road blocks lifted, the neighborhood around the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve was back to its usual quietness on June 26, aside from several fire engines still on site and a few locals trickling by to check out the aftermath.
According to the San Diego Police Department, the fire began at around 10:45 a.m. on June 25 as a small 1-acre brush fire at the 2000–2300 block of Del Mar Scenic Parkway, the road leading to the north extension of the Torrey Pines Natural Reserve. Officials said the fire burned 23 acres and was 80 percent contained as of late afternoon on June 26.
