The Witch Creek Fire started on Oct. 21, 2007, when Santa Ana winds knocked down power lines east of Ramona.
SAN DIEGO - Nearly 16 years after the Witch Creek Fire burned more than 197,000 acres in San Diego County, 9,000 of which were in the city, San Diego leaders will kick off improvements and repairs for the streets impacted by the blaze Monday.
The $5.26 million project is intended to repair 2.3 miles of roads with asphalt overlay, upgrade sidewalks and curb ramps to be ADA-compliant, remove and replace cross gutters and curbs and gutters, and restripe roadways. All resurfacing is expected to be completed by the end of June, city officials said.
At the time, the fire was the fourth-largest blaze in California history. More than 360 homes were lost to the fire in Rancho San Bernardo alone, and more than 1,000 structures were destroyed. The fire killed a couple in their home in Poway.
