30-acre brush fire in East County prompts evacuations; forward rate of spread is halted [Breaking]
A 30-acre brush fire in rural East County late Tuesday morning prompted evacuations on two Indian reservations before the spread of the blaze was halted, officials said.
The fire was reported at about 11:40 a.m. east of Boulevard and quickly jumped from 3 acres to 30 acres, said sheriff’s Lt. Gavin Lanning. The blaze prompted the evacuation of some homes on the Manzanita and Los Posta Indian reservations, with residents being told to go to the Golden Acorn Casino in Campo, Lanning said.
The fire started near Black Wood Road and Old Mine Road north of Live Oak Springs, Cal Fire San Diego said on Twitter. By 12:22 p.m., Cal Fire said the wind-driven fire was threatening five homes.“Currently they have air assets and ground assets on it,” Lanning said around 1:45 p.m. “The spread is reportedly down to zero.”
