Pine Fire Sparked By Tree Limb That Fell Onto Power Pole

SAN ANSELMO, CA – A tree limb that fell onto a power pole sparked the 38-acre Pine Fire south of San Geronimo in Marin County Tuesday, Marin County Fire Department officials said.

A park ranger reported the fire shortly before 10:30 a.m. Tuesday near Kent Lake, about two miles southwest of Woodacre on Marin Municipal Water District land in the Mt. Tamalpais Watershed.

Roughly 80 personnel responded to the slow-moving fire, which Brown said burned mostly grass and brush, but later consumed bay, laurel and oak trees.

The fire was 100 percent contained at 8 a.m. Wednesday, fire officials said. Two engines, a water tender and a crew remained on site.
