Two fires have erupted on Camp Pendleton in northern San Diego County, officials said.

One has forced evacuation of Marines from the 1st Marine Regiment to a safer spot on the sprawling base. So far, no housing units are in immediate danger, although residents of several areas have been on standby since Monday for possible evacuation if the Rice fire burning in Fallbrook pushed onto the base.
