Brush fire on Otay Mountain burns 600 acres near US-Mexico border
Smoke from the so-called Border 2 Fire, which was blowing west and southwest in the direction of Otay Mesa, was visible for miles, reports NBC 7’s Todd Strain. A large vegetation fire began burning Thursday afternoon on a hilltop near the U.S.-Mexico border. As night fell, the flames cast an eerie glow across Otay Mountain.
