TIJUANA.- Due to the last fires that have been registered in the city and the Santa Ana strong winds that will continue part of this week, the Tijuana Fire Department has issued an alert to the citizenship so that it does not turn on the Christmas lights outside their homes.

The bursts of wind in the city could reach a speed of up to 30km/h (19 miles per hour), that is why, it is requested not to turn on the lights, since the wind could shake them, cause an electric cut, and then, lead to a fire.
