Flames are spreading from a Dodge Ram pickup to the wildland off of Bald Mountain Road just east of Maple Creek Road, after the truck caught on fire about 1:50 p.m., according to a report made by the pickup’s owner to 911.

Cal Fire sent multiple engines, Copter 102, an air attack, and other resources to the scene.

The pilot in the air attack told dispatch, “Got a potential for about 15 acres.” He also said there were no structures threatened but there were power lines in the area.

Please remember that information gathered from initial reports is subject to revision as more facts become available.

UPDATE 2:18 p.m.:

Stupid? We are law abiding citizens going up to cut firewood. Don’t be so quick to judge [edit]!

A good time to remind everyone a fire extinguisher is a lifesaver in your vehicle.

Imagine watching your truck burn and you cant do a darn thing about it.
