Two small fires broke out in La Mesa Wednesday afternoon south of Mission Trails Regional Park.
The two fires started just after 1:30 p.m. along Jackson Drive, a busy route through the residential community.
One fire was reported at Jackson and Hemingway Drive. A second fire was less than a half of a mile away near Jackson and Tuxedo Road.
When crews with the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department arrived, they found brush burning uphill and threatening structures, according to a spokesperson.
The fuel was light to medium.
Fire officials called for air support from the Cal Fire Ramona Air Base but canceled the request around a half hour later.
A helicopter made at least one water drop on the fire that was burning in a wooded area between homes.
