With many parts of Los Angeles County still smoldering from wildfires and new blazes flaring up, the expected rain this weekend would seem like a welcome relief. But how the rain falls could make the difference between a disaster respite or a disaster repeat.

First discovered: 6:52 a.m. Jan. 24 A new wildfire was reported today at 6:52 a.m. in San Diego County. The wildfire has been burning on private land. Currently, there are no details on the containment or cause of the fire.

The fires come as San Diego County mountains and valleys, along with other parts of Southern California, remain under a red flag warning.
