FALLBROOK, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — Cal Fire crews are responding to a brush fire that broke out Friday morning in Fallbrook. The fire — referred to as the Mission Fire — was first reported just after 10 a.m. in the area of Overland Trail and Mission Road.

A late-morning brush fire blackened about five open acres and leveled an outbuilding Friday in a neighborhood just east of Camp Pendleton, authorities reported.

San Diego fire crews have deployed resources to help in the firefight against several major wildfires in the Los Angeles area that have destroyed hundreds of homes, forced thousands to evacuate and killed at least 2 people.
