SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- All evacuation orders have been lifted after a brush fire that burned southwest of the San Diego State University campus Thursday afternoon. The fire was reported in the canyon near Fairmount Avenue and Montezuma Road around 1:45 p.m. According to San Diego Police Department Lt.

Around 4 p.m., the wildfire had burned about 40 acres and was at 0% containment. A smoke advisory had been issued for central and southeastern San Diego, including Mission Valley, Lemon Grove and Encanto. The fire is 25% contained, SDFD posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, at 6:30 p.m. No injuries have been reported, but the fire did damage six homes.
