Crews made progress Friday containing a 45-acre wildfire that erupted in the eastern reaches of Carlsbad, prompting temporary evacuations as ground and airborne crews worked to douse the flames.

Carlsbad police said on social media platform X that crews were responding to a fire in the area of Camino Minero, near Corte Claro and Paseo Encino. The area is not far from Rancho Santa Fe Road, close to the city’s border with San Marcos. Police asked that people avoid the area.

Crews stopped the forward progress of a brush fire that triggered evacuations in Carlsbad on Thursday, officials said.
