Downed power lines spark a vegetation fire near the Potters Ravine area of Lake Oroville.    

It's burned about 60 acres of grass and dry brush just west of Lake Oroville.   

The fire is 100% contained. 

It was reported around 3:20 Sunday afternoon.   

The fire didn't threaten any structures, but got close to some large transmission power lines.    

Crews were attacking the flames from the air and ground.    

The Potters Ravine branch of the lake was closed to boaters as air crews pulled water from the area.    

Firefighters are battling the heat and steep terrain, but the low winds are cooperating.
