At least eight vehicles parked along a fence in the Sun Valley Apartments parking lot caught fire. No structures were damaged.
By about 3:30 p.m., crews said they were in the mop-up phase.
Firefighters battled Red Flag Warning conditions in the Sacramento Valley, with gusts reaching up to 35 mph on Sunday.
