A 3-acre brush fire destroyed an RV and an outbuilding north of Valley Center on Monday afternoon, Cal Fire officials said.
The fire started about 3:30 p.m. in a sparsely populated area off San Gabriel Way and Couser Canyon Road.
Cal Fire Capt. Frank LoCoco said the flames spread at a slow to moderate rate near homes, destroying the RV and outbuilding before firefighters, with the help of two water-dropping helicopters, held the fire to 3 acres.
No evacuations were ordered, and no injuries were reported.
