Firefighters halt 35-acre grass fire along Jackson Road east of Sacramento
Firefighters stopped forward progress on a roughly 35-acre grass fire sparked by weed abatement Thursday afternoon on private property just east of Sacramento near Camellia Memorial Lawn, authorities said.
About 3:06 p.m., crews from the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District were called to the scene along Jackson Road between Bradshaw Road and Excelsior Road, south of Mather Airport, Metro Fire spokesperson Capt. Mark Nunez said.
No structures were threatened, no injuries were reported, and no evacuations were ordered, Nunez said.
More than 20 units were assigned to the scene, according to Metro Fire’s active incident report.
Nunez said crews had begun mop-up operations as of 4 p.m.
Metro Fire conducts inspections between May and November to ensure properties comply with weed abatement policies to reduce the risk of fires igniting in weeds, grass, vines and other growth, according its website.
