Calfire arson investigators are on the scene of a second vegetation fire very near where a previous fire was put out last week in the Flamingo Heights neighborhood of Yucca Valley.
Calfire Engineer Andrew Arthen said Yucca Valley firefighters were driving on Old Woman Springs Road near La Brisa Drive in the Flamingo Heights area yesterday when they saw the fire about 12:30 p.m. They immediately started an aggressive attack on the blaze. They were joined by County fire engines from Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms, as well as Calfire and BLM firefighters.
The blaze burned right next to where a 25-acre vegetation fire was burning last Monday. The aggressive response by firefighters confined this week’s blaze to two acres. Both blazes are in the State Responsibility Area. The cause of both fires is still under investigation.
