Firefighters quickly contained a small brush fire that broke out Sunday in Ramona.
The fire began Sunday morning at Highway 78 just east of Weekend Villa Rd., Cal Fire San Diego said.
It was reported at 3 acres with the potential to grow to 5 acres.
The department later said the fire’s forward progress had been stopped and crews would be on the scene for another two to three hours to strengthen control lines and extinguish hot spots.
The public was asked to avoid the area to accommodate resources and personnel working in the area.
