Grass Fire Erupts In Contra Costa County

PITTSBURG, CA --A 25-acre, 2-alarm grass fire is mostly contained this afternoon in unincorporated Contra Costa County, a fire captain said. The fire was reported just after 3 p.m. behind a gas station at Evora Road and Willow Pass Court, just off state Highway 4.

Fire Captain George Laing said the fire grew quickly to 5 to 6 acres.

A second alarm was called because it was reported that a structure was threatened, but it's unclear whether any structure was actually threatened, Laing said.

California Highway Patrol officials reported that the fire was threatening a church.

Laing said no injuries have been reported and the cause is under investigation.
