Crews put out a fire on a hillside at Marion Avenue and Paradise Court on Friday morning. It broke out around 3:45 a.m. and burned almost two acres of dry grass. The flames never threatened any homes.
But this is the third time this week that a brush fire broke out in the middle of the night somewhere in Novato.
