Update 9 p.m. Sam DiGiovanna, our "Chief's Corner" columnist, sent us this report and photo: The fire has scorched 1,000 acres and is 15% contained. Approximately 230 residents were forced to evacuate a housing unit near Lake O'Neil base, officials said. Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton was not threatened by the fire, but a power outage prompted officials to evacuate about 30 patients to other hospitals in the area and stop accepting new patients.
