Fire crews responded to a wildfire in Weber Canyon just east of Oakley at 10:45pm Friday night. Fire officials say the blaze was caused by a downed power line. As of Saturday morning, the fire has been suppressed.
Multiple fire crews, Highway Patrol, Sheriff's Deputies and Search and Rescue were at the scene overnight as the fire grew to over 75 acres in size.
