Close call at delta windsurf

Driving home from Sacramento Saturday, traffic was at a standstill for an hour while fire crews battled a fire dangerously close to the shop. Fortunately the fire was confined to the triangular piece of land bordering hwy 160 and sherman island road. Some structures (homes?) were destroyed. Hopefully no one was injured. Does anyone know what happened?

The fire was pretty close to the shop, but as it was down wind the shop was never really in jeopardy. The only RV on the lot was saved at the last second... burn line within 20 feet of it... so all in all it just took out a healthy black berry crop that probably would have gone unpicked anyways. As it started right next to the road odds are it was a cigarette, but there's no way to confirm it. Thanks for the concern.
