Update at 12:50 p.m.: Multiple fires burning on Highway 108 between Rolling Hills Blvd and Victoria Way in Jamestown have been extinguished. CAL Fire reports that there were two fires total. One by the intersection of Victoria Way was just a spot fire that citizens were able to put out in minutes. A second fire closer to Rolling Hills Blvd grew to a half-acre before firefighters were able to contain it.
