Brush 50 and Tender 50 were paged to investigate the report of a fire on Little Mountain. A thunderstorm was crossing the valley and the caller thought a lightning strike had started the fire.
Units responded to the area of Newton Dam but were unable to see any sign of fire on the west side of the mountain. Brush 50 made the loop around Little Mountain, as did a Sheriff's Deputy. A County Fire unit also was in the area. With heavy rain falling and no sign of fire all units cleared.
