Fireworks are being investigated as the possible cause of a vegetation fire that broke out Sunday night in Paso Robles.
The fire was reported at around 9 p.m. off Caballo Place.
Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services reports firefighters were on scene within four minutes and reported the fire was around a quarter acre in size and burning uphill in brush and grass.
Multiple units from neighboring agencies responded to assist. The fire reportedly burned 3.65 acres. Fire officials say no structures were damaged and no injuries were reported.
Fire officials say several people in the area reported fireworks in the area prior to the start of the fire.
Neighbor Eustolia Garcia said she was out for an evening walk when the fire broke out.
"I heard two fireworks that thundered and then we started to see that the smoke started," Garcia said.
She believes unsupervised children playing with fireworks started the fire.
"There were boys who were unsupervised. They were throwing fireworks," Garcia said.
Fire Chief Jonathan Stornetta tells KSBY, “Fireworks is one component of the areas they will be investigating,” however, the exact cause remains under investigation.
