The Poomacha fire has burned 23,000 acres and has no containment. The fire is burning a mile away from the Witch Creek fire and both fires are expected to converge by late Tuesday or early Wednesday, said Holly Crawford, a spokeswoman with the Office of Emergency Services.
Palomar Mountain is on fire. Ten firefighters were hurt and 218 others are fighting the blaze. The fire moved swiftly through the region because of extreme fire behavior, lack of resources and high winds, said Roxanne Provaznik, a Cal Fire spokeswoman. It has destroyed 50 homes.

Firefighters are starting to arrive to the but they have not been able to surround the fire because they are protecting structures, Provaznik said.
