Undocumented Alien Starts 2 Acre Vegetation Fire Near Otay Mountain

One person has been arrested by U.S. Border Patrol agents after being found at the scene of a vegetation fire in the hills above Lower Otay Lake. The fire was initially reported around 8:50pm in a rugged and remote canyon at the base of the mountain. The fire grew to two acres and with the help of 2 CalFire/SDSO helicopters, the forward rate of spread was stopped. Crews had a difficult time accessing the fire due to the location but are attempting to make access to mop up any hot spots.

Unclear at this time what charges the male may face.
