A one-alarm vegetation fire kept Vacaville fire crews busy during the lunchtime rush hour on Wednesday.
The fire started around 1 p.m. along the 1000 block of Hume Way between a row of businesses and the east-bound lanes of Interstate 80.
A fire crew on the scene said no structures were threatened by the blaze, though traffic slowed to a crawl on Interstate 80 in the immediate area around the fire.
Forward progress on the fire was stopped just before 1:30 p.m., and fire crews expected to remain on scene for another hour or so.
