20 acre fire knocked down.

Update: 10:00 p.m.

A brush fire burned approximately 20 acres near the northbound I-5 four miles south of Templin Highway.

Two lanes in both the northbound and southbound direction had to be temporarily closed while fire crews battled the blaze, and a Sig Alert was issued for the area.

Fire officials report that no structures were damaged and there were no injuries. The fire was out by 6:00 p.m.

The fire broke out at approximately 3:45 pm and is of suspicious origin, as there were four separate spot fires reported in the area shortly before the main blaze started burning.
