ALPINE, Calif. Jan. 4 — A major wildfire is burning out of control near San Diego, destroying homes and forcing evacuations.Firefighters battled through the night to contain the 5,500-acre blaze, but little progress was reported. Driven by winds of up to 50 mph, the fast-moving fire destroyed four luxury homes and caused hundreds of evacuations in Alpine, located in eastern San Diego County. The fire was about 10 percent contained as of midnight ET. "The fire is not contained; it is not controlled," said Alpine Fire Chief Thomas Ace. "These are absolutely the worst fire conditions imaginable."
