NORTH COUNTY
A brush fire erupted in North County late Wednesday and burned more than 4,200 acres overnight as flames pushed by Santa Ana winds spread toward Camp Pendleton, prompting thousands of evacuations on the Marine Corps base and in Fallbrook.
By early Thursday evening Christmas Eve authorities had lifted the evacuation orders, allowing families to return home, possibly in time to salvage some holiday celebrations.
No structures burned in the blaze, which was 35 percent contained Thursday evening after charring about 4,276 acres, according to Cal Fire San Diego Capt. Thomas Shoots.
