Original Story
Cal Fire reported at 15-acre vegetation fire near Wynola and Farmers Roads in Julian Friday afternoon.
Cal Fire Capt. Mike Mohler told Patch that the blaze was started by a motorcycle that went down on the road near the intersection and caught on fire around 1:18 p.m.
Mohler said he did not know the status of the person riding the motorcycle.
The fire captain also said that 25 structures were being evacuated near SR78 and Wynola Road due to the wildfire, but that they were just precautionary.
As of 2:15 p.m., 25 engines, four hand crews, two air tankers, three helicopters and two bullozers were at the scene, according to Mohler.
"The fire is holding as of now," Mohler said. "We're calling it a shaky containment because of the area."
By nearly 4 p.m., Mohler said there was containment, but had no percentage. He said aircraft had been released and crews would stay in the area overnight to monitor.
Dispatch reported that a shaded field break made by property owners near the wildfire area may help the bulldozers make fire lanes.
Mohler told Patch that one firefighter was being treated for multiple wasp stings.
Wynola and Farmers Roads remain closed, Mohler said.
