A fire in the Brunswick Basin, but it has been contained quickly. The vegetation fire was reported off of Plaza Drive around 4:30 this afternoon (Monday). Grass Valley Fire Department Battalion Chief Steve Smith tells KNCO the fire was hard to locate at first…
A plane on its way to the King Fire near Pollock Pines did fly overhead, but did not make a water drop. Smith says the cause of the fire is under investigation, but there are homeless encampments around…
The fire was contained to an area estimated at 200 by 200 feet. Smith says there is a lot of green vegetation in the area, which likely kept the fire from spreading.

Every morning I see all kinds of homeless people coming out from behind the trees on that road. Wouldnt surprise me if campfires were the cause of this fire.
