Windy conditions and heavy undergrowth turned a brush fire on the American River bike trail into a two-alarm blaze that crews managed to keep from spreading to nearby apartment buildings and offices.
Firefighters responded about 3:55 p.m. to the blaze on the bike trail near the Campus Commons Golf Course, Sacramento Fire Department officials said in a news release Saturday night.
Sacramento County park rangers temporarily closed the bike trail at the fire site.
No firefighters were reported injured, and the cause has not been determined, officials said.
