    Fire crews knocked down a half-acre vegetation fire that broke out in a rural part of San Diego County Sunday.

    The fire was reported around 2 p.m. Sunday along Bass Drive on the west side of Lake Jennings in Lakeside, near the campground, according to Cal Fire.

    Additional resources from Santee and San Miguel aided in the effort, with ground resources knocking down the blaze in under 20 minutes, Cal Fire told City News Service.

    Crews remained on scene to build a containment line, check hot spots and ensure cooling.

    “The cause of the fire is under investigation. Nearly 90% of fires are human-related. Investigators are checking if the campground had a part in the fire,” a public information officer from Cal Fire said.
