Fire crews were battling a brush fire that broke out at a Marine Corps Air Station property in Miramar Saturday.
The fire was burning at a slow to moderate rate of spread, with the San Diego Fire Rescue Department sending five brush engines and a helicopter to assist the Miramar Fire Department, the SDFD reported in a social media post.
Fire officials said there was no current threat to the city. The fire had grown from 15 acres to, according to OnScene.TV, 90 acres by 3:30 p.m.
The service also reported that firefighters had been doing a prescribed burn, when the fire got out of hand and spread due to winds.
