Multiple callers reported the fire to 911 shortly before 4 p.m. Engine 13 arrived and found the fire burning in the river bottom, prompting firefighters to request a wildland response.
The fire spread through dry grass toward a nearby commercial shopping center and residential area.
Firefighters stopped the fire’s forward progress before it reached any structures, the department said.
A total of 41 Fresno Fire Department personnel responded to the fire, which was contained to about 30 acres.
No injuries were reported in the information released by the department and a cause was not provided.
