Grass fire shuts down westbound I-80 in West Sacramento

Westbound Interstate 80 in West Sacramento was temporarily shut down Tuesday evening due to a vegetation fire near Reed Avenue.

The fire broke out shortly before 5:30 p.m. and was occurring in the same location as a separate vegetation fire that sparked just one day prior near Ikea.

Westbound traffic had been at a full stop but the lanes have since reopened. The California Highway Patrol's Woodland division said traffic was being diverted off the freeway at Reed Avenue.

The West Sacramento Fire Department said the fire appears to be suspicious in nature, but investigators are still looking into the cause.
