Crews were battling a vehicle blaze that spread to structures in San Mateo County's census-designated place of La Honda, Cal Fire said Friday morning.

Shortly after 6 a.m., the Cal Fire San Mateo-Santa Cruz Unit said on social media that firefighters were working to extinguish a reported vehicle fire in La Honda.

The fire spread, engulfing a manufactured home, multiple outbuildings and three trailers, Cal Fire said.

Earlier, the agency said some witnesses saw nearby trees catch fire, now dubbed as the Coggins Fire. In an updated post on social media, Cal Fire said there was no extension into wildland and crews were in defensive mode focused on protecting lives and property.

Photos from the UC San Diego public safety program ALERTCalifornia on social media also showed the fire already spewing thick smoke.
