A fast-moving brush fire scorched 150 acres in the Central Coast on Tuesday evening as firefighters worked to battle the blaze.
Smoke was reported shortly after 4 p.m. near Shedd Canyon, about 15 miles east of Paso Robles, according to California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's office in San Luis Obispo.
The Fire Department deployed four air tankers and a helicopter along with seven fire engines to combat the blaze.
The fire was contained by 7 p.m., according to Cal Fire.
It’s unclear what sparked the fire, which has been dubbed the Shedd Fire.
Firefighters also responded to a smaller blaze that burned a patch of vegetation measuring about 100 square feet, according to the local NBC station, KSBY-TV Channel 6. It's unclear if the two fires were connected.
