A vegetation fire east of Shasta College was quickly knocked down by fire crews from Cal-Fire/Shasta County Fire and Redding Fire Department. The fire broke out at around 3 O’clock Monday afternoon off of East Stillwater Way near Highway 299 and for a short time it threatened a home on Jim Harvey Road. Crews had a hose lay all the way around the fire within about 30 minutes after it had burned about an acre and a half of dry grass and light brush.
