    ( KRON ) — Fire crews responded to a fire in the Berkeley hills near Grizzly Peak on Monday night.

    Images and video from the scene showed flames burning at about 9:45 p.m., but crews had put the fire out about an hour later.

    Steve Gehling with the Moraga-Orinda Fire District said crews put out the fire in 15-20 minutes.

    “Luckily the fire wasn’t moving very fast up here,” he said. “The vegetation was not super dry at the moment. So this fire a couple of months from now could’ve been a bit worse. Due to the quick response with the fact that we do have so many agencies this close, we had crews here very quick.”

    The cause of the fire is currently unconfirmed.
