Some lanes of north I-15 near West Bernardo Drive closed because of brush fire
A brush fire sent clouds of smoke above Rancho Bernardo on Monday afternoon, prompting nearby homes and condo complexes to be evacuated and some freeway lanes to be closed. Two strike teams, pulling firefighters from San Diego and Escondido fire departments and crews on two firefighting helicopters, attacked the flames, which were first reported around 2:30 p.m. near Escala Drive and Chretien Court.
'Evacuations are going on because of the fire,' San Diego police Officer Sarah Foster said around 3:30 p.m. 'It is so close to the freeway, it is backing up traffic on the 15... We are helping to evacuate any places near the fire.' There were Santa Ana winds blowing in the region on Monday.
