County emergency officials said forward progress on the fire was stopped just before 2 p.m.

No structures were threatened, county officials said, and no evacuations orders or advisories have been issued.

A large plume of smoke could be seen from multiple locations across Sacramento County around 1 p.m., Caltrans traffic cameras show.

The fire is burning amid a red flag warning from the National Weather Service due to dry conditions and winds gusting up to 30 mph throughout the Sacramento Valley.
