Fire, Other

Having located a small fire in the gravel pit above Newton Dam, a CCSO Deputy requested fire department assistance. Units from Newton Fire and a Fire District officer were paged.

Brush 50 and Engine 50 responded and found what appeared to be a recreational fire that had been lit and left unattended. The fire was well away from any other fuels and was quickly extinguished.

With no further assistance needed, the CCFD officer was cancelled and all units from Newton returned to quarters.
