CAMPO - Firefighters were battling a 45-acre wildfire that broke out in a rural part of San Diego County Saturday, which prompted a brief evacuation order.

"Firefighters are making good progress in this extreme heat. Cal Fire San Diego will remain on the incident throughout the night and into tomorrow extinguishing hot spots and strengthening containment lines," the agency said
The fire was at 50% containment as of Sunday morning, and the forward rate of spread had been stopped.
An evacuation order for the area was issued but lifted a short time later, although Church Road remained closed most of Saturday night, officials said.
A total of 140 personnel were assigned to the fire, including air support, five crews and 15 engines, officials said.
No injuries were immediately reported.
The cause of the fire was unknown.
