Firefighters Extinguish Small Grass Fire Near Terra Nova High
Smoke from the blaze was visible from the high school and administrators called authorities.
Crews quickly put out a small grass fire near Terra Nova High School in Pacifica this afternoon, a North County Fire Authority inspector said.
The fire near Terra Nova Boulevard and Everglades Drive was reported around 12:15 p.m., Inspector Klaus Zalinskis said.
Crews arrived shortly afterward and the 10-by-10-foot fire was extinguished, Zalinskis said.
A woman answering the phone at Terra Nova High School, located down the block at 1450 Terra Nova Blvd., said smoke from the blaze was visible from the school and administrators called authorities.
She said the fire was far enough away from the campus that the building, students and staff were never threatened.
