San Diego County Sheriff Bill Kolender predicted that the
current wildfires would be the worst fire disaster in county history, worse
than the 2003 Cedar Fire that devastated parts of the city and shut down campus
for three days.
"It’s probably going to get worse," Koldender said
at a televised news conference shortly after 10 a.m.
Kolender asked residents to stay put and off the streets if
they are safe at home, and to abide by evacuation orders when and if they’re
issued.
