Firefighters worked Monday to douse hot spots in the smoldering burn zone of a weekend wildfire that blackened scores of open acres in the remote southeastern reaches of San Diego County.
The blaze, which caused no reported structural damage or injuries, erupted about 1 p.m. Sunday near Tecate Peak in Marron Valley, roughly a mile north of the U.S.-Mexico border, according to Cal Fire.
It took ground and airborne crews about four hours to halt the spread of the flames, which charred an estimated 61 acres, the state agency reported.
The cause of the blaze was under investigation.
