SPRING VALLEY, Calif. (KGTV) — Firefighters are battling a brush fire burning near a neighborhood in Spring Valley.
The vegetation fire was reported just before 1:30 p.m. near the 9700 block of Arapaho Street, near Jamacha Boulevard.
San Miguel Fire Department officials told ABC 10News that a house fire first erupted in the 9800 block of Ivanho Street, burning at least two homes. Strong winds then blew embers towards a field about a half-mile away and ignited the brush fire.
Crews at the scene of the brush fire were advising nearby residents to evacuate as flames approached several homes.
Families living in those two burned homes are working with the Red Cross to find temporary shelter. If you'd like to help them recover, here's a link to their gofundme.
