## Transcript

Multiple fires continue to burn out of control in the San Diego area Saturday. After days of unseasonably of hot and windy weather. KNSD reports a fire on Camp Pendleton has grown to 14, 000 acres since it was first reported Thursday. So far, officials only have that fire about 5 % contained. As of Saturday, KFMB was reporting there were six major fires still burning in the area. Meanwhile, investigators have filed their first arson charge. CNN reports this charge was related to a small fire. Police also arrested two other teenagers in connection with a separate fire. The causes of the large fires are under investigation.

One man says this cell phone video obtained by KGTV shows the beginning of the Poinsettia fire in the town of Carlsbad. That quick moving fire has destroyed at least 16 structures. Investigators are now looking into that video. Luckily, conditions are getting better for the firefighters. The Weather Channel reports the high for Saturday should be in the mid 70s with lighter winds. It comes after days of temperatures in the 90s. UT San Diego says firefighters were able to make good progress on Friday, just ahead of the cooler weather. Most of the more than 120, 000 people ordered to evacuate have been able to return to their homes.

So far it's not clear whether there have been any deaths tied to the fires. CNN reports authorities did find a burned body in Carlsbad, but have not been able to determine the cause.
