SAN YSIDRO, Calif. (KGTV) -- A brush fire burned dangerously close to an apartment complex in San Ysidro early Friday morning, prompting some residents to evacuate from their units.

The fire was reported shortly before 1 a.m. near an apartment building in the 1300 block of W. San Ysidro Boulevard, according to San Diego Fire-Rescue Department officials.
