Officials said five agencies responded to the fire, with firefighters arriving within 10 minutes and having the fire under control by 3:37 p.m.

Authorities said one firefighter suffered a hand injury and the other suffered from a heat-related illness. One of the firefighters worked for the Cosumnes Fire Department and the affiliation of the other firefighter was unclear.

Firefighters added that some units would remain on scene overnight to conduct cleanup.

Authorities have not yet determined the cause of the fire.
