The 2-acre fire quickly spread to a 10-acre blaze, Fire Rescue spokesman Cory Richter said. Crews contained the fire by 5:20 p.m.
Fire crews are still on scene mopping up hot spots, Richter said. Details on how long they will stay in the area were not available.
No further details were immediately available.
