"VERY LARGE FIRE" IN MEXICO- 7 MI SOUTH OF BORDER

The large plume of smoke to the east is NOT the control burn advised by SD CalFire.  I was transferred to the SD Fire Authority by the 9-11 operator.  They told me that the the plume was from a "very large fire" burning in Mexico approximately 7 miles south of the border.  The smoke is clearly visible from the East Camera atop Lyons Peak.  It is on the left of the image, behind Tecate Peak: http://hpwren.ucsd.edu/cameras/LyonsPeak.htm
NOTE: The camera link has been very hard to load.  Below is a photo captured about 3:00 PM
