Early Morning Fire Near Buena Vista Landfill
An early morning brushfire this morning was
reported around 4:20 near the Buena Vista Landfill transfer Station on Buena
Vista Rd in the Ione area. Jackson Valley Fire Personnel, Cal Fire Crews and
Amador County Sheriff’s Deputies all responded to the scene. The fire was
reportedly about one half to three quarters of an acre burning in some brush.
No structures were threatened, however it was discovered that there was no
power going to the buildings at the dump, and that raised concerns that the
fire was started by power lines that were down. PG&E crews were then called
to the scene and notified that the fire was burning actively at the base of
their power poles. The fire was contained by 5 am. Fire crews will remain on
scene through out the morning for mop up.
