CALIFORNIA \u2013 A wildfire<\/a> erupted on a U.S.<\/a> Military Base in Southern California<\/a> on Wednesday, rapidly growing to more than 500 acres within a matter of hours.<\/p>\n

Marine Corps<\/a> Base Camp Pendleton, a 125,000-acre training facility between Los Angeles<\/a> and San Diego<\/a>, saw part of its grounds engulfed by a wildfire Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

The blaze triggered a response from a coalition of local and state fire engines in the San Diego County area around 10 a.m. PST.<\/p>\n

According to CalFire, as of 3:54 p.m. PST, the blaze had scorched 560 acres and was 0% contained.<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire is under investigation.<\/p>\n

Surrounding communities and base residents saw smoke as the fast-moving fire threatened critical infrastructure<\/a> on the base with active fire behavior and spot fires, CalFire said.<\/p>\n

A Cal Fire C-130 air tanker dropped fire retardant on the blaze, dubbed the November Fire<\/a> because the initial response came from the Camp Pendleton<\/a> Fire Department near the base’s November Training Area.<\/p>\n

The blaze triggered evacuations that included a nearby golf<\/a> course and the San Diego Humane Society in Oceanside<\/a> that have since been lifted.<\/p>\n

As of 10:30 p.m., the blaze is 50% contained, and CalFire said it’s no longer growing in size. All CalFire resources were sent home Wednesday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A C-130 CalFire airtanker battled a wildfire on Camp Pendleton in Southern California on Wednesday, dropping red fire…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355679,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,9,8,3936,1703,1727,90863,1181,535],"class_list":["post-355678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-california-wildfires","tag-military","tag-outdoors","tag-stay22","tag-us","tag-wildfires"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
