A wildfire has burned more than 1,100 acres at Camp Pendleton, threatening structures and leading to evacuations within the military base. The fire began Thursday afternoon in the western part of the installation.
The Henderson Fire has caused the closure of nearby areas, including sections of Interstate 5, which has since reopened. Authorities continue to monitor the situation as firefighting efforts are underway.
