Crews battled a vegetation fire on Kimball Island near Antioch Tuesday.

RVFD crews were on scene at the Antioch Marina assessing a vegetation fire located on Kimball Island in Sacramento County. Photos show a large swath of land on the southern end of the island on fire.

The Rio Vista Fire Department said it's too difficult to access the fire safely, so they were going to let it burn out. 

The fire could go on for several days and bring down air quality. 

Kimball Island is an uninhabited island with no residences or structures on it. 

The cause of the fire is unknown.

No additional information was immediately available.
