Fire Crews Contain 11-Acre Wildfire at San Bruno Mountain

Firefighters have contained a roughly 11-acre wildfire Sunday afternoon at the San Bruno Mountain State and County Park, according to a fire official.

Firefighters responded to a report of a roadside fire shortly after 3 p.m. near the intersection of Dolores Way and Hillside Boulevard in South San Francisco, Cal Fire Battalion Chief Ari Delay said.

The fire was escalated to a three-alarm response by local government agencies and Delay said Cal Fire sent a full response, which includes a helicopter and two fixed-wing planes.

Roughly 90 firefighters responded to the scene, he said.

Strong winds made the fire difficult to contain at first, Delay said.

"The wind was blowing pretty hard and that made it a little difficult initially," Delay said. "Now I'd say we're in pretty good shape."

Fire crews contained the fire shortly before 4:30 p.m. and were expected to stay another two or three hours to mop up any hot spots, Delay said.

No structures were threatened and Delay said no injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
