Cal Fire crews responded to two small fires Monday amid gusty Santa Ana winds and low humidity that was creating dangerous fire weather.

One fire was located near a U.S. Navy facility in the Cleveland National Forest and the other involving a recreational vehicle sparked in the community of Bonsall.

The Bonsall fire started as an RV fire shortly after 9 a.m. It was knocked down at 9:23 a.m., according to Cal Fire.

No injuries or structural damage were reported, and the cause was under investigation, fire officials said.

At 10:25 a.m., firefighters responded to a small vegetation fire near the Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape training facility off state Highway 79 in the community of Warner Springs, Cal Fire said.

The fire scorched a half-acre and was contained by 10:50 a.m, and there were no injuries or structural damage, according to fire officials.

Cleanup efforts were ongoing.
