More than 380 military families in San Diego County and the surrounding area are taking refuge at the Naval Air Station North Island gymnasium after evacuating their homes due to encroaching wildfires. More than a quarter-million people were urged to flee their homes across Southern California as wildfires blown by fierce desert winds raced over the landscape with terrifying speed, destroying hundreds of structures, clogging highways, sending smoke and ash over a wide area. The numerous fires in San Diego County currently threaten no Navy facilities. The Navy is working with various agencies to aide in combating the fires and providing assistance to both military and civilians. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication 2nd Class Mark A. Leonesio
