Taber: 35 Structures in RSF Fire District Burned

Thirty-five structures in the Rancho Santa Fe Fire District, including homes in the RSF Covenant and Rancho Cielo, have been hit by the flames of the Witch Fire, according to spokeswoman Julie Taber.

Taber said a few minutes ago that crews were battling two fingers of the blaze: one headed north from Cielo toward Escondido Creek; and one moving from the Zumaque area on the east side of the RSF Covenant south towards Fairbanks Ranch.

Some homes near the RSF Village have been hit, including several structures on Camino Selva. Spot fires continue to burn in some areas of the Covenant, but Taber said she did not know of any major flank moving through.

Does anyone know how many homes burned in Cielo, or what homes burned? We live in Cielo and are having a hard time getting info about Cielo.
