Mapped at just under 1 acre, the fire was declared "100% mopped" at 5:26 p.m. It was located between Interstate 5 and Highland Avenue, threatening three structures there before crews got it under control.
A 56-year-old woman accused of stealing $56 worth of Walmart merchandise was cited on a third-degree theft charge at 4:12 p.m. Friday.
