A 220-acre vegetation fire broke out Saturday at the Camp Pendleton Marine Base.

Camp Pendleton Fire Department crews were working on containment at 5:08 p.m. but the forward rate of spread has been stopped, according to a tweet from Camp Pendleton.

"It poses no threat to anything but smoke will be seen for the remainder of the day," the tweet from the base said.
