Roseville Brush Fire Contained
ROSEVILLE (CBS13) -- Firefighters have contained a rural brush fire east of Roseville Wednesday afternoon, authorities said.
CAL FIRE said the fire broke out near Watt Avenue and Dyer Lane, a couple miles east of Roseville, quickly growing to nine acres before firefighters extinguished the leading edge of the blaze with ground units and water drops from helicopters.
No structures were damage and no injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
CAL FIRE also issued an alert about increased fire danger over the next several days throughout northeastern California. Starting Wednesday evening, an upper level low will approach the California coast, drawing in monsoonal moisture, which is predicted to trigger dry lightning across the northeastern section of California, according to CAL FIRE.
As the low moves into Nevada on Thursday, it will shift winds to the northeast, creating breezy and dry conditions Thursday night into Friday across most parts of Northern California.
CAL FIRE is increasing staffing and moving fire engines into positions where fire danger is expected to increase.
