September 2, 2017 (Lakeside) – A vehicle fire on Wildcat Canyon Road  ignited dry brush, just north of Muth Valley Road and south of Pata Ranch Road. Named the Ranch Fire, it charred an estimated three-quarters of an acre this evening before forward spread was halted, Cal Fire reports. 

Cal Fire and San Diego County helicopters provided air support to ground crews from Barona and Lakeside Fire departments, says Robert E. Younger, a resident of Wildcat Canyon in Lakeside who lives directly across from the blaze.
