This morning around 4:30 am Jackson Fire Crews
were called to a fire at 833 Vogan
Toll Rd at the Law Offices of Stephen Zalkind. The
fire was reported by the first Jackson Police officer on scene to be a fully
involved structure. Fire crews from Jackson and CalFire arrived on scene within
minutes with two engines a piece. The structure by this time was fully ablaze
and concerns turned to limiting the spread of the fire to the surrounding
fields. The fire was under controlled by 5:07 am with Jackson Chief Mark Morton
asking for Ione City Fire to respond with their rehab support unit as the Jackson and CalFire crews
will be on the scene for mop up for quite some time. The cause of the fire is
under investigation and the home was a total loss. Jackson Fire Chief Mark
Morton had this to say about the fire.
