The fire reportedly started in a training area on the California National Guard base and was burning in grass at a moderate rate of spread.

According to the Camp Roberts Installation Services Facebook page, troops from the 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team arrived at the base this week for two weeks of annual training.
