A wildfire sparked by a traffic accident just east of Ramona continued to burn through the night, but no structural damage or injuries were reported Friday as crews halted the spread of the flames.
The blaze erupted about 1 p.m. Thursday when a vehicle veered off State Route 78 near Casner Road in the Ballena area, overturned, caught fire, and ignited roadside vegetation, according to Cal Fire.
As of 7:10 a.m. Friday, the blaze was last updated to 105 acres, with containment at 85%.
Fire officials said the forward rate of spread has been stopped, and the fire was burning in medium brush and annual grasses.
An evacuation order, warnings and road closures were in place, but have been lifted due to improved containment, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.
A temporary shelter for the displaced was in operation at the grounds of Ramona Rodeo on Aqua Lane.
“Firefighters are focusing on building and improving on containment lines as well as searching for and extinguishing hot spots within the perimeter,” the agency said in a statement.
An occupant of the truck that crashed and started the fire suffered moderately serious injuries in the accident.
