Reports from the California Highway Patrol Traffic Incident Information page indicate that the fire was initially reported as dry grass on fire along the roadway. CHP was requested in the area to provide traffic control.
The Brush Fire was located at the 31000 block of Mountain View Road and firefighters initially describe it as a half-acre wildland fire burning at a slow rate of spread.
When air resources got above the incident they described the fire as a half-acre to one-acre with the potential to grow to 2-3 acres.
By 6:00 p.m., ground and air resources were being canceled as firefighters gained a foothold on the flames.
