RAMONA – Crews working to get lines of control around the smoldering remnants of a brush fire that blackened scores of open acres and forced evacuations in Ramona this week had the burn area nearly one-third surrounded Thursday morning.
The fire, which caused no reported structural damage, erupted for unknown reasons shortly before 11:30 a.m. Wednesday off San Vicente Road, about a mile south of Ramona High School, Cal Fire reported.
