Firefighters Douse Brush Fire Behind Livermore Rodeo Grounds

By AUTUMN JOHNSON

A small brush fire scorched about one-third of an acre in the creek area behind the Livermore Rodeo grounds on Wednesday afternoon, Livermore Pleasanton Fire Battalion Chief Michael Miller said.

“The first arriving units found a mixture of brush and grass on fire in the arroyo area,” Miller told Patch.
Miller says the fire was quickly contained and no structures where threatened by the blaze.

“There were no injuries and the cause of the fire is under investigation,” Miller said.

The day before, firefighters worked to extinguish a big-rig fire that started following a crash on I-580 near the El Charro off-ramp.
