2-acre grass fire contained after burning Sloughhouse outbuilding, officials say
Firefighters contained a vegetation fire that spread to and damaged an outbuilding structure in the Sloughhouse area Monday morning, the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District said in tweets.
The fire grew to about 2 acres before it was contained by 11:15 a.m., according to Metro Fire. It ignited about 10:30 a.m. near residences on Cresthill Drive, south of Highway 16 between Grant Line and Sloughhouse roads in east Sacramento County.
Video posted by Metro Fire to social media shows that a shed became involved in the grass fire, with its walls charred and smoke seen billowing out of its doors and windows.
Fire engines, water tankers and a helicopter were dispatched to the scene.
