The fire is burning in the grass along the roadway near the Airola Road intersection in the Natural Bridges area. There is no word as to whether any structures are threatened at this time. There is plenty of activity in the area with traffic getting backed. As it is the middle of the evening commute, motorists may want to avoid the area by detouring on Highway 4 and 49.
