Brush Fire Sparks On Camp Pendleton

CAMP PENDLETON, CA — A brush fire burning Wednesday on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton prompted a smoke advisory.

"While there is no threat of this fire extending beyond the installation, smoke may be visible on Camp Pendleton and surrounding communities," Camp Pendleton officials said on social media. "Camp Pendleton Fire will continue to monitor the situation."

The size of the fire was not reported, nor was an estimated containment time.
