Vegetation Fire Contained

Mountain Ranch, CA — Cal Fire reports the vegetation fire that spread from a debris burn has been contained around 30 acres.  When firefighters arrived on the scene the flames had spread to about an acre and a half of nearby vegetation and the rate of spread was slow, according to Cal Fire.

The flames broke out just after 5 p.m. on the 9500 block of Whiskey Slide Road near Ponderosa Way in the Mountain Ranch area.  Six engines and two hand crews battled the blaze for about two hours. A dozier had been called to the scene, but was cancelled before it reached the fire area.  At 7 p.m. the fire was under control and, according to Cal Fire, crews will spend another 4 hours mopping up.  No structures were threatened in the fire.
