The Kern Avenue fire – estimated as a few acres – is visible as far away as Third Street, said a woman by phone who lives on the corner of Mantelli Drive and Kern Avenue.
Two structures are threatened near the Kern Avenue fire, according to dispatchers.

At the levee fire, no structures are threatened and it’s being identified by dispatchers as a grass fire. That fire has since been extinguished.
