Brush Fire Chars 100 Acres Near Wildomar.





A fire broke out Thursday deep in the Cleveland National Forest, a few miles southwest of Wildomar, blackening at least 100 acres.
The non-injury blaze was reported about 12:30 p.m. in the San Mateo Canyon Wilderness area, south of the Ortega (74) Highway, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
An agency spokeswoman said air tankers and water-dropping helicopters were deployed to attack the flames, which could not be easily reached by ground resources.
The fire was not in the vicinity of homes or other structures, and it was not posing as immediate threat to the Ortega Highway, according to the USFS.
There was no word on what triggered the blaze.
