A wildfire burned 12 acres outside of St. Helena in Napa Valley on Friday, churning through dry brush amid damp weather and overcast skies.

No structures were threatened and no evacuations were needed as a result of the 12:05 p.m. blaze, Cal Fire said.

A quick response stopped the fire’s progress, and aerial tankers were able to get a line around the blaze, Cal Fire reported.

The cause of the fire remained under investigation.
