Firefighters quickly doused a small brush fire that started Saturday afternoon at Sutter’s Landing Park, officials said.

Multiple reports of a fire came in around 3 p.m., according to Sacramento Fire Department spokesman Capt. Keith Wade. The fire grew to an acre but was quickly extinguished, Wade said. No injuries were reported.

The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning through Saturday night for high fire danger. Due to windy conditions, the fire was met with a large response of several crews to be safe, Wade said.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
