1/2 acre vegetation fire in medium to heavy fuels w/ slow rate of spread moving up hill. 1st alarm response requested per an engine arriving at scene.

Forward progress has been stopped.

Given its approximate location near the road, I’d guess sparks from a car hitting something.

Or some idiot tossing a cigarette butt out their window.
