Clements, CA — Firefighters in the region responded to a two-acre vegetation fire late Sunday evening on Brandt Road in the Clements area.

It ignited at around 10 o’clock.

No injuries were reported and no structures were damaged. Crews worked to quickly stop the forward spread of the fire at a couple of acres.
