Two boys suspected of playing with matches or a lighter are believed to have sparked a grass fire in southwest Santa Rosa.  The fire started around one o’clock yesterday afternoon in open space behind Victoria, Tuxhorn and Pebblecreek drives, south of Hearn Avenue.  The blaze burned about four acres and briefly threatened about a dozen homes before being fully contained.  Eight fire engines responded – half from Santa Rosa and the others from Cal Fire and Rincon Valley fire.
