On May 14th, [[2014]], a fire that would later be known as the "Poinsettia Fire"[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poinsettia_Fire] began. 

It started off calm enough, but due to the high winds and high temperatures, quickly spread out of control.

==Relation to Sage Creek==

At this point, the [[Class of 2017]] was the only class attending [[Sage Creek]].

Though the fire didn't end up burning too near to [[Sage Creek]], instead preferring the dry brush near [[Aviara Oaks Middle School]]. Students were initially asked to "Shelter in Place" in the [[Bobcat Arena]][https://web.archive.org/web/20180808063520/https:/twitter.com/SCBobcats/status/466667016695214080].

The fire would later cause cancellation of the [[Spring Fling End Of The Year Formal Dance 2014]][https://web.archive.org/web/20180808063802/https:/twitter.com/SCBobcats/status/467414704604721153] which was the first and to date only cancellation of a dance in [[Sage Creek]]'s history.

The fire ended up destroying 8 buildings, and had one fatality, and was the second most destructive fire in the history of San Diego County, at an estimated $22.5 million[https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/San-Diego-Fires-Sunday-Updates-Cocos-Fire-Combat-Fire-259719281.html].
