Grass Fire Spreads to Threaten Structures Along I-780 in Vallejo

Vegetation fire sparked on i-780 near Green Cove Road.

A grass fire this morning along Interstate 780 in Vallejo has spread and is now threatening several homes, witnesses said.

The blaze began about 10:40 a.m. today near Green Cove Road, witnesses said.

Vallejo Fire Department and possibly firefighters from Benecia have been called to the scene.

The fire is eerily familiar to one that was sparked in vegetation along i-80 in Fairfield on Tuesday. That blaze destroyed or seriously damaged 15 homes or other structures before it was knocked down, according to TV news reports.

Firefighters have not announced any cause of the Fairfield fire.
