A grass fire north of Morgan Hill, on the east side of the U.S. 101 burned about 20 acres of vegetation but caused no property damage, authorities said.
The fire burned next to the freeway near Coyote Creek Golf Drive about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to Calfire battalion chief Jim Crawford.
The blaze briefly threatened a landfill over the hills to the east of the freeway, but crews were able to contain the fire before it caused any damage, Crawford said.
Authorities do not yet know what caused the fire.
