HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE, Calif. – A small wildland fire burned along Highway 29 Saturday afternoon.
The fire, reported to be off the highway about a mile north of Spruce Grove Road near the Hidden Valley Lake golf course, was first dispatched shortly after 4 p.m.
Witnesses at the scene said Cal Fire air resources – including helicopters – worked the fire, along with ground units.
Cal Fire Battalion Chief Greg Bertelli said South Lake County Fire and Cal Fire responded.
“We had a full wildland response,” he said.
The fire was contained by 5:30 p.m. thanks to aggressive firefighting, he said.
Bertelli said the fire was contained at one acre.
He said the cause is under investigation.
There are no power lines in the area and “nothing obvious jumping out at us right now” as to a potential fire source, Bertelli said.
