Three Fire Departments Stop Grass Fire Along I-5

Firefighters from three departments battled a 30- acre grass fire along Interstate 5 on Aug. 26.

Firefighters from the Cosumnes Community Services District were dispatched at 5:13 p.m. to the blaze south of Twin Cities Road in San Joaquin County, said district spokesman Steve Capps.

The Cosumnes firefighters joined units from the Thornton and Walnut Grove fire departments in fighting the fire, which started in the median and spread across the highway to the east side, where the majority of the burn was, he said. There were no injuries, and no structures were affected. The cause of the fire is under investigation, Capps said.
