Cal Fire extinguishes structure fire in rural San Mateo County
Cal Fire crews were able to put out a structure fire that broke out Tuesday morning at private property on Highway 1 in San Mateo County, officials said.
Firefighters were dispatched to the property south of Bean Hollow Road just after 8 a.m. Arriving units found a fully involved 2,000 square foot workshop. Because the area doesn't have hydrants, rural water supply operations were ordered, including the La Honda Fire Department's water tender group.
