SAN DIEGO — A brush fire broke out Wednesday near the border and was burning on both the U.S. and Mexico sides, authorities said.

Around 4:39 p.m., the blaze, dubbed as the “Border 20 Fire,” was on the international border on the south slope of Tecate Peak, according to Cal Fire San Diego County. The fire has since spread 458 acres and is completely within Mexico, per officials.

“This fire is still considered a threat to the United States, but we have significant resources,” Cal Fire tweeted.

Helicopter aid is on the scene to help put out the fire.
