FAIRFIELD — Firefighters are battling a structure fire in rural Fairfield amid strong winds that are blowing smoke across nearby Interstate 80.

The fire was reported at about 1:50 p.m. on Suisun Parkway near Business Center Drive. A shed-like structure was fully involved.

Power lines were down at the scene, preventing firefighters from quickly attacking the fire.

Firefighters brought the fire under control at about 2:35 p.m.

Brad Zweerink reported from the scene. Reach Glen Faison at 427-6925 or gfaison@dailyrepublic.net. Follow him on Twitter at www.twitter.com/GlenFaison.
