Cal Fire is on scene as of 8:30 confirming that the fire is out.

Umm,….let it burn? Wet grass is like having a battalion of fire fighters.
Best not to have to worry about it I suppose.
I wonder if it was put out do to technicality’s of burning laws

Be certain to take out clear glass bottles, jars, whatever when you leave an area like this. The sunlight will focus through glass with even a tiny amount of water in it, and act like a magnifying glass to start a fire.
Also reading glasses: if you suddenly realize you’ve dropped them, retrace your steps until they’re found, as they too will focus sunlight and start a fire.
Our neighborhood has had two such fires in the past 40 years, and they were two too many. af
