Firefighters Douse Series of Small Fires in San Bruno Mountain Area

By Bay City News Service:

Firefighters have extinguished a series of small grass fires that occurred along Guadalupe Canyon Parkway in San Bruno Mountain State Park Tuesday afternoon, according to a fire official.

The fires, four in all, were found burning along the road between Carter Street and Radio Road in the park west of Brisbane and reported shortly after 2:30 p.m., according to North County Fire Authority Deputy Chief Richard Johnson.

A second alarm was called in response to the fires, but individually they were small and burned maybe a total of a quarter of an acre, Johnson said.

The fire was found in Cal Fire’s jurisdiction and that agency will be handling the investigation, Johnson said.

Calls to Cal Fire have not yet been returned.
