Firefighters suspect a blaze that burned 44 acres in Lucas Valley last week was
sparked by a lawn mower, the county fire chief said Monday.

The fire started Wednesday afternoon near Mount Lassen Drive, prompting
evacuations in parts of Lucas Valley and Marinwood. Residents were allowed to
return home that evening.

Firefighters reported no injuries or building damage.

Chief Jason Weber of the Marin County Fire Department said the mower most likely
ignited the fire when a blade struck a rock. He said residents should avoid
mowing grass in the afternoon.





“It should be done on cool foggy mornings,” he said. “When mowing, people should
have a hose and/or extinguisher at the ready.”
