At least 560 acres were scorched at Camp Pendleton by a fast-moving wildfire, but crews said they managed to stop the forward progress by Thursday morning.
The fire is at about 50% containment.
U.S. Marine firefighters responded at about 10 a.m. Wednesday to the area near the Marine Memorial Golf Course, which was evacuated shortly after the November Fire began.
All evacuations have since been lifted, according to Cal Fire and the Oceanside Fire Department.
The fire was declared an “extended attack fire” by base officials, meaning it’s “going to take awhile” to get under control.
Cal Fire was assisting with fixed-wing firefighting aircraft, helicopters and dozers. A total of 14 aircraft from state, federal and private resources, including fixed wing planes and firefighting helicopters were involved in fighting the fire.
Water was being utilized from local sources including the Oceanside Golf Course, while fire retardant reloading was being handled at airfields in Hemet and San Bernardino, according to authorities. Health officials issued warnings to nearby residents that smoke from the fire was causing unhealthful conditions.
There are no reports of damage or injuries. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
