Battalion Chief Joe Lindaman said that the fire was held to 2 1/2 acres with containment confirmed at 8:30 p.m.

Firefighters working on Bridgeport Lane were approached by several young women who reported seeing a teenage boy with a lighter leaving the creek area. 

 

On Sunday, local Sheriff's officials confirmed that one minor was detained, however further details were not immediately available because the investigation is being handled by the Sheriff's Arson and Explosives Unit.

No roads were closed while seven crews worked to put out hot spots. Moderate winds in the area contributed to the fire's quick spread, but no businesses were threatened and no injuries were reported.
