SAN DIEGO (FOX 5\/KUSI) \u2014 At least two brush fires that prompted evacuations broke out during windy conditions in San Diego County on Monday.<\/p>\n

A fast-moving brush fire broke out near homes in Sorrento Valley Monday morning and evacuation warnings and orders were in place.<\/p>\n

Another brush fire began around 11 a.m. near the airport in Oceanside, prompting police to also evacuate nearby homes.<\/p>\n

Sorrento Fire<\/p>\n

The Sorrento Fire started around 9:30 a.m. Monday and quickly spread to 65 acres in the area of Sorrento Valley Blvd and Ocean Air Drive in Sorrento Valley. As of about 6 p.m., the fire had reached 90 acres and was 40% contained, with forward spread stopped.<\/p>\n

Cal Fire reported a threat to transmission powerlines, and steep terrain made containment of the Sorrento Fire<\/a> difficult for firefighters.<\/p>\n

The San Diego Police Department<\/a> issued evacuation orders for residents in nearby areas. As of about 8 p.m. Monday, all evacuation orders and warnings were lifted.<\/p>\n

A temporary evacuation point was set up at Mandell Weiss Eastgate Park at the intersection of Eastgate Mall and Regent Road.<\/p>\n

Sorrento Valley Blvd was completely closed between Vista Sorrento Parkway and Camino Santa Fe, according to police.<\/p>\n

Smoke was visible from both the I-5 and I-805 freeways.<\/p>\n
