–Paso Robles Fire and Cal Fire responded to a small fire in the Salinas Riverbed near Navajo Street in Paso Robles shortly after 6:10 p.m. Friday evening. The fire broke out in brush about 100-150 yards from homes along the river near North River Road, just north of Albertsons.

Firefighters dragged a fire hose out into the bushes and drenched the landscape where the fire occurred. No damage or injuries were reported. The fire was extinguished within 45 minutes.
