The fire was reported about 9:20 a.m. in the area of Sorrento Valley Drive just east of Interstate 5, police said. It had grown to 30 to 40 acres as of 10:30 a.m. and was growing at a \u201cdangerous rate of spread,\u201d the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department said on X.<\/p>\n

A portion of East Ocean Air Drive, as well as several streets to the south, including Abalone Landing Terrace, Sea Pearl Cove, the 10500 block of Sand Crab Place and the 10500 block of Corte Jardin Del Mar, were being ordered to evacuate.<\/p>\n

Houses to the east along Sorrento Valley Boulevard and Calle Crisobal have also been ordered to evacuate. People were also ordered to evacuate from the Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve, an area popular with hikers and bicyclists.<\/p>\n

\u201cResidents in the affected area should leave now and follow directions from emergency personnel,\u201d San Diego police said on X. \u201cDo not wait for conditions to worsen.\u201d<\/p>\n
