Firefighters from several Solano County fire agencies are on the scene of a four-alarm vegetation fire burning east of Vacaville.
The fire broke out shortly after noon near the intersection of Highway 113 at Hay Road.
An initial report indicated the fire was in an irrigation ditch near the highway, but it soon escaped the ditch and ignited the surrounding dry grass on fire.
More than 500 acres of brush burned before fire crews were able to contain the fire.
It remains unclear what started the fire.
