The animals at the zoo are not in any danger. The Wild Animal Park is near Escondido, and has been closed for several days. They have a large fire break around the Park (it's the kind of park where the majority of the animals are in natural enclosures and you ride on a tram or a small bus to see them.) But they did evacuate some animals on Sundayto the zoo.
Many many people in San Diego county live on ranch properties and have horses etc. A friend has an alpaca ranch just a few miles from me...she was evacuated Monday. The Target parking lot by my house is full of horse trailers and RVs belonging to people who had to leave the back country areas.
The highways have not really burned but some are closed to help the firefighters get where they need to be. We are being urged to stay home and all schools are closed this week.
