Livermore Brush Fire Burned 2 Acres Near I-580

Livermore, CA— Firefighters have extinguished a brush fire reported in the 1700 block of Paseo Laguna Seco in Livermore Wednesday afternoon, fire officials told Patch.

Fire officials said high winds caused the blaze, which was reported at 12:35 p.m., to quickly spread. The fire was under control at about 1:30 p.m, according to Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Deputy Chief Joe Testa.

Testa said the fire burned 2 acres. No one was injured and no structures were nearby. Alameda County Fire crews assisted with the firefighting efforts.

"The property is ranch land bordered by I-580 on the north, North Livermore Ave. on the west and Las Positas Court on the east," Testa said. "It is actively used for cattle grazing. No cattle were injured or freed during this fire. A rancher was on scene assisting."

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
