VACAVILLE -- A weed whacker may have sparked a large wildfire just north of Vacaville, forcing Cal Fire to issue an evacuation order to dozens of families on Saturday afternoon.

Saturday's fire burned pretty close to their new home that was under construction and set to complete at the end of this year.
Nally said he ran over to help to put the fire out. Once firefighters arrived, Tim used his bulldozer to cut a fire line around his family property."We were more than a little worried," Kim said."Very thankful it didn't get very far."
