A fast-moving wildfire that raged along both side of Highway 94 and forced the evacuation of some 1,500 homes in the Campo area, was 50 percent contained as of 7:15 a.m., a CalFire spokesman said.
The so-called Shockey Fire began shortly before 3 a.m., just west of Shockey Truck Trail, according to the California Highway Patrol. Within in an hour it grew to more than 100 acres, a CalFire dispatcher said.
