A brush fire scorched several acres of Marine Corps Air Station Miramar Thursday afternoon.
The fire broke out on the military base, located north of state Route 52 and Kearny Mesa and west of state Route 163, around 3 p.m. As of 4 p.m., firefighters had stopped the spread of the fire at 10 acres, San Diego Fire-Rescue Department said on X. No evacuations were ordered and no structures were threatened.
The fire was impacting traffic in the area as the evening rush hour approached. The right three lanes of westbound SR-52, west of SR-163, were closed, Caltrans San Diego said. The left lane remained open.
