Small fires broke out in three separate locations in John McLaren Park in San Francisco on Wednesday morning, but all were quickly brought under control, a fire department spokesman said.

The initial report of a grass fire shortly before noon was followed by the two others.

There were no injuries and no structures involved. Fire investigators were trying to determine a cause.

The fires sent plumes of white smoke wafting over the Excelsior District that were visible for miles.
