Flames engulfed a vehicle on Interstate 8 in the far southeastern reaches of the San Diego area Monday and spread into adjacent brushy terrain, prompting an evacuation of a rural recreation area.

The blaze erupted about 4 p.m. on the westbound side of the freeway, near McCain Valley Road in Jacumba, according to Cal Fire.

Within an hour, the blaze had spread over about 20 open acres, forced a closure of all westbound lanes on the interstate in the area and led to an evacuation of De Anza Springs Resort on Carrizo Gorge Road, authorities said.
