I don't know the name of the street off the top of my head but I believe that this is the canyon near the I-5 near Clairemont Mesa.  We used to take the I-5 to that street and go through the canyon to go to the Honey Bake Ham store to pick up the ham for potlucks at the job.

You may want to take the 805 freeway to Clairemont Mesa.  

I'm thinking someone had to have started that fire because the high temperature today was 72 degrees and it was leaning more into humidity than dry heat...plus, it wasn't even windy today.
