Firefighters have contained a grass fire, dubbed the Harbison Fire, that sparked Tuesday close to homes in Dehesa in East San Diego County.
The fire was reported at around 4:45 p.m. along Harbison Canyon Road on a hillside near residential lots. By 8:30 p.m., the fire was 100% contained, according to Cal Fire spokesperson Neil Czapinski.
San Diego County Sheriff's Department deputies evacuated residents along Sycuan Oaks Drive, but lifted the order at around 8 p.m. The fire also forced a brief closure of Harbison Canyon Road between Dehesa Road and Crest Boulevard, but the road was reopened by around 6:40 p.m.
Cal Fire expected crews to stay on the scene of the fire overnight. The cause has not been determined, according to Czapinski.
Czapinski said a civilian suffered a burm injury to their arm and a firefighter suffered a minor knee injury. Both were hospitalized.
Two structures were also damaged, Czapinski said.
