Camp Pendleton fire officials have announced they are fighting a new fire in southeastern Camp Pendleton near the San Luis Rey Gate.

Residents of Serra Mesa Housing have been instructed to relocate to the 22 Area Parade Deck as a precautionary measure due to their proximity to the fire.

Military police are on the scene assisting in relocating military members and their families to a safe location on base. Air assets are being utilized to assist in fighting the fire.

Horno Fire, which currently covers approximately 10,000 acres, is 40-50 percent contained.

The Wilcox Fire is approximately 100 acres and is 100 percent contained.

The five-acre fire near the Commissary (the Base’s largest grocery store) in the 21 Area is also 100 percent contained.

The Horno Fire has two heads, one north toward San Onofre and one south toward Pulgas Rd. The southern head is currently the lesser threat.
