A vegetation fire that broke out Monday morning at a solar farm near California Valley has been fully contained, according to CAL FIRE San Luis Obispo County Fire.
Firefighters responded to the blaze on June 15 near Highway 58, where flames burned through approximately 10 acres of grass within the solar farm property.
Crews were able to stop the fire’s forward progress relatively quickly, aided by favorable conditions on the ground. The fire was bordered by roads on all sides, which helped containment efforts.
By 12:45 p.m. Monday, CAL FIRE announced the fire had reached 100 percent containment.
Firefighters remained on scene for several hours after halting the fire’s spread to strengthen containment lines and work toward full extinguishment.
It’s unclear if there has been damage to the solar panels. 
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
