Brush fire in Rancho Bernardo – NBC 7 San Diego

Firefighters are responding Wednesday to a brush fire in Rancho Bernardo that injured one person, according to San Diego Fire-Rescue.

The fire started around 8:55 a.m. near Bernardo Center Drive and Camino del Norte. SDFD was responding alongside Poway Fire.

The so-called Center Fire had the potential for 100 acres and evacuations were “imminent” as the fire neared structures, SDFD said.

One person suffered burn injuries in the fire and was transported to a nearby hospital, the fire department said.

It was not clear what started the fire or how the person was injured.

About 55 firefighters with three brush rigs, six fire engines and three firefighting helicopters have been assigned to the scene.

This is a developing story. Details may change as information is released.
