A brush fire that broke out Sunday night off of Interstate 8 near Live Oak Springs in San Diego's East County was contained after about an hour and a half, fire officials said.

Cal Fire San Diego crews responded to the 2-acre blaze, dubbed the "Miller Fire," at around 7:10 p.m. The forward rate of spread was stopped by 8:30 p.m., the agency said in a post on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter.

Crews will remain at the scene to make sure the fire gets fully extinguished.
