At 7:56 pm Thursday, Contra Costa County firefighters responded to a report of a vegetation fire along Highway 4 / I-160 Connector.

Contra Costa Fire arrived on scene to find a 1/4 acre fire that quickly grew to 1-acre before they called for a full vegetation fire response at 8:05 pm.

A short time later at 8:21 pm, they called for a 2nd-alarm response which included units from East Contra Costa Fire.

At least 1-lane is shut down in the northbound direction as firefighters work the scene.

The fire was limited to 2-acres, however heavy mop up was required.
