.The latest fire, burning north of Santee Lakes in Sycamore Canyon, scorched about 15 acres before its forward rate of spread was stopped, according to Kendal Bortisser with Cal Fire. No structures were threatened.
.Estimates initially put the fire at 30 acres before downgrading the acreage. Full containment of that fire was expected around 4 p.m., a tweet from Cal Fire stated.
.Since Tuesday, eleven other fires have been reported in the county, igniting tens of thousands of acres and destroying dozens of home and structures in the area, fire officials said.
.Changing weather conditions this weekend were expected to help fire personnel battle the fires. Temperatures were cooler on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. A dense fog advisory was issued in the early morning for the coastal areas of San Diego and Orange counties by the weather service, although it was later canceled before 8 a.m.
.Fire crews have been able to fully contain some of the blazes, including the Poinsettia, Highway, Freeway and River fires, even as they spent the better part of a week facing challenging weather conditions, including record-breaking heat, strong winds and low humidity.
.Although the weather was more favorable for firefighters on Saturday, officials have warned the conditions that helped fuel the flames, including Santa Ana winds, were expected to return soon.
."Now, in just a week or so we are expecting again more Santa Ana wind condition in Southern California, said Daniel Berlant, a Cal Fire information officer. "So come the holiday at the end of the month here, we could be ramping back up, we could see more fires with the dry conditions. The likelihood of more fires is pretty high."
.Meanwhile, three fire-related arrests have been made since Thursday, according to authorities.
.One person was charged with arson in connection with a fire in Oceanside, authorities said at a news conference on Friday afternoon.
.Alberto Serrato was seen adding brush to a fire in the San Luis River bed, San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said, adding the man faced up to seven years in prison.
.Two teenagers were also arrested on arson-related charges, Escondido police announced on Thursday evening.
.Isaiah Silva, 19, and an unidentified 17-year-old, both of Escondido, were taken into custody shortly after 7:25 p.m., according to the Escondido Police Department.
.The pair was arrested after a witness reported seeing two people start a small brush fire and attempt to start another, police said in a news release. It was unclear, however, if the teens were involved in any of the larger fires in the area.
.News of the arrests came as several active fires continued to burn in the county, threatening dozens of structures and leaving some evacuation orders in place.
