SAN DIEGO — Forward progress was stopped on a fire that threatened an apartment building and resulted in an evacuation warning in Rancho Bernardo on Friday, officials said.
The fire was reported near Camino Del Norte and Bernardo Center Drive around 2:40 p.m., according to Jose Ysea, a spokesperson for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
The fire had burned about 13 acres before a combination of crews on the ground and water drops from helicopters stopped it around 4:25 p.m., officials said.
Evacuation warnings were issued about 30 minutes after the fire was first reported and remained in effect as of 4:50 p.m., fire officials said in statements posted to X.
The warning stretches from Camino Del Norte to Dove Canyon Road, and from Bernardo Center Road to Camino San Bernardo. The roads are closed in that area.
