A 400-acre, wind-fueled wildfire was on the march Thursday along the southern end of Vandenberg Air Force Base.
The blaze had threatened six military base buildings, but dying winds late Thursday helped firefighting crews. There were no reported injuries, according to the Santa Barbara County Fire Department.
Base officials said the blaze erupted about 1 p.m. near Space Launch Complex-3 as emergency response teams were conducting inspections.
Some base personnel were evacuated, and several power poles to the base have burned.
