A wildfire erupted near Lake Henshaw in rural northern San Diego County early Friday afternoon, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The Grade fire, reported near East Grade Road, was burning in the Cleveland National Forest. It reached 50 acres by mid-afternoon, burning in medium brush fuels and was headed to the northeast, U.S. Forest Service spokesperson Daniel Lanari said.<\/p>\n
No evacuations have been ordered, and no structures were threatened, but a section of East Grade Road was closed as crews tried to access the fire.<\/p>\n
The area where the fire is burning is \u201ca little rocky, a little steep, a little difficult to access,\u201d Lanari said.<\/p>\n
As of midafternoon, the fire air attack included four air tankers, two helicopters and plane assigned to coordinate the aircrafts, he said.<\/p>\n
The fire comes as the region swelters under a heat dome and warnings of extreme heat \u2014 and heat can help fire move faster. \u201cWith the increased temperatures comes the higher risk of fire movement,\u201d Lanari said.<\/p>\n
