Firefighters have halted the spread of a roughly five-acre brush fire caused by a vehicle fire in the area near Interstate 15 and East Mission Road in Fallbrook, according to Cal Fire.
The fire, dubbed the Mission 2 Fire, was reported around 2:00 p.m., Thursday where firefighters worked to stop forward progression around 2:45 p.m. The conflagration did not damage nearby structure and no injuries were reported.
Authorities cleared about 100 people out of the immediate vicinity many of them from an outdoor-wedding venue, others from homes on Sterling View as ground crews and personnel aboard air tankers and water-dropping helicopters worked to subdue the flames, according to the state agency and the county Sheriff's Office.
The blaze forced temporary closures of one northbound lane and an off-ramp on I-15 in the area, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The North County Fire Protection District has since lifted evacuation orders for nearby residents in Zones SDC-0109, according to the San Diego County Sheriff.
