First arriving units found an out-building fully involved with 20×20 area of grass also burning. Crews were able to quickly bring the fire under control with no damage to the residence. Grass Valley Fire and Cal Fire responded and Crews remained at scene approximately one hour with mop up. There were no injuries. The cause was determined to be an electrical short in a well pump.
