A brush fire that jumped from Baja, California into San Diego County has burned 4 acres near the border fence, a Cal Fire official said Friday.

Cal Fire crews were able to contain the blaze around Tecate Mission Road in the county, said Capt. Mike Cornette, added that 30 personnel are on the scene.

The Border 21 Fire first started Wednesday in Mexico, but is “skirting along Tecate Peak (in the county),” he added.

Cornette said the fire spread north of the U.S.-Mexico border around 5:30 p.m. Thursday.

No structures were being threatened, according to Cornette.

Authorities lifted an earlier evacuation warning for those living along Tecate Mission Road.

The U.S. communities closest to the fire are Potrero and Tecate.

NBC7 reported that in Mexico, the fire has consumed 2,000 acres, according to Enrique Garcia of Tecate Fire and Civil Protection. Garcia told NBC7 that the fire started at a ranch along the Tijuana-Tecate Highway.

He added that “the cause may have been people clearing brush from the land with fire.”
