Fire crews in the North Bay are battling a grassfire that has scorched 40 acres in two hours.
A vegetation fire broke out in Sonoma County just before 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, CAL FIRE officials reported in a tweet. The so-called Fremont Fire started on Fremont Dr. and is now active in the 4200 block of Napa Rd. near the Sonoma, Napa County line.
CAL FIRE, the Napa County Sheriff’s Office and the Sonoma County Sheriff’s office are now at the scene, using a Single Engine Airtanker (SEATs), which can deliver up to 800 gallons of fire retardant to fight the blaze.
There are no evacuations at this time, however, officials have warned the community of Schellville to please stay out of the area.
Residents are advised to stay indoors with the windows and doors closed to minimize exposure to wildfire smoke. The fire is currently at 0% containment.
