Grass fire burns about 15 acres near Camanche Reservoir in Amador County
Fire crews battled a grass fire that burned in Amador County near the Camanche Reservoir on Sunday.
KCRA 3 Chief Meteorologist Mark Finan is tracking the fire and says it burned in the area of Coal Mine Road near Buena Vista Road. He said the area has a lot of mixed vegetation, which includes a lot of dry grass.
Video from Alert Wildfire showed helicopters performing water drops on a large plume of smoke. Cal Fire said the fire burned about 15 acres before forward progress was stopped. When fire officials say they stop the forward progress of a fire, that means they have stopped the flames from spreading in a particular direction(s).
There have been no reports of evacuations.
Finan advised if you are in the area to go to the east of Pardee Dam Road to Highway 12. If you are near the north end, he says to go to Highway 88.
It's unclear what sparked the fire.
