A pile of telephone poles caught fire in San Luis Obispo on Tuesday morning.

Firefighters say it started in some brush and then spread to the telephone poles and some pallets. It burned about 1/8 acre.

The cause is under investigation, but fire officials say it may have been related to the use of power equipment.
