San Andreas, CA -- CDF is reporting two wildfires in Calaveras County over the weekend.

The first blaze occurred shortly before 1:30 in the afternoon on Penn Mine Road. CDF says the fire consumed about 59 acres of brush, grass and oak trees estimated to be worth about $24,000.

Firefighters responded with 15 pieces of equipment, three inmate crews and three helicopters. The cause was determined to be from electrical utility lines.
