At just before midnight, Sawmill Peak Lookout reported a vegetation fire almost due north of the lookout, on the east side of the Feather River.

Once resources arrived at scene, it was determined with the help of the lookout that there were apparently four fires in an area where logging was being done. The fire acreage is approximately 15 acres at 0045 hours. The Incident Command Post location is pending at this time.

There are 8-10 engines, four hand crews, and at least one water tender on scene or enroute.

The incident name is Jordan IC, on Tactical Channel 11. Butte Fire (151.400) is as usual the dispatch and main frequency for those of you with scanners.

More updates as they come in; no updates means that there is nothing new to report and the fire is in hand.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
