(KRON) — Crews were responding to a grass fire between Parkmoor Avenue and I-280 in San Jose on Thursday afternoon, the San Jose Fire Department said on X. Officials said the fire is approximately one acre, and forward progress (spreading of the fire) has been stopped.

Around 3:30 p.m., the on-ramps from I-280 northbound to CA-17 southbound and I-880 northbound are currently shut down. The right two lanes of CA-17 southbound between I-280 and Hamilton Avenue were also shut down. Drivers were asked to seek alternate routes.

As of 5:30 p.m., the scene appears to have been cleared up, according to a KRON4 photojournalist at the scene.
