A fire on the outskirts of San Diego on Wednesday prompted evacuation orders and closed roads. Before noon, a brush fire began near Chuck Wagon Road, outside Ramona, California, in the hills northeast of San Diego. The blaze, dubbed the Bunnie Fire, has since grown to at least 183 acres and exhibits a "dangerous rate of spread," officials told NBC 7. A temporary evacuation point has been set up at Olive Pierce Middle School, Fox 5 reports. One structure is under threat from the fire, NBC San Diego reports.
