Firefighters Contain Camp Pendleton Wildfire

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (AP) ― A 102-acre wildfire that forced evacuations at the Camp Pendleton Marine base has been contained.

Cpl. Michael Atchue, a spokesman at the San Diego County base, says the brushfire was fully surrounded at 10 p.m. Tuesday without any building damage or injuries.

Offices in two areas of the base were evacuated after the fire broke out around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, but the evacuations were canceled later in the day.

The cause of the fire was under investigation.
