City officials said mandatory evacuations were in progress Wednesday, and more than 11,000 notices were sent to homes and businesses.
Two homes could be seen burning in TV broadcasts from Carlsbad. State fire Capt. Mike Moehler tells KCAL-TV structures are actively burning but he doesn’t know how many.
