[Update: Not as Reported] Report of Vegetation Fire on Dyerville Loop Road
A vegetation fire was reported in the area near the cross of Alderpoint Road and Dyerville Loop Road just before 6 p.m. on November 25.
Scanner traffic indicates that three fire vehicles are advancing to locate the fire, while additional resources will stage at the intersection of Dyersville Loop Road and Alderpoint Road.
We spoke with Supervisor Michelle Bushnell who stated that the fire could be seen from the Larabee Subdivision, east of Dyerville, earlier in the day. Activity earlier in the day was consistent with a burn pile.
We will keep you updated as fire personnel attempt to locate fire.

Anyone have any info?
The latest was “not as reported” which could be anything from a burn pile to a controlled burn or a fire that was suppressed by the time the crew arrived on scene. There is no threat at this time. We will update if/when Cal Fire returns our request for information.
Possible started by those infamous PG&E power lines…
looks like a mean burn pile
they giving out permits?
Yep. Smoke permits from NCUAQMD. Most burning doesn’t need an LE-500(?) From CalFire anymore, but the restrictions were lifted a few weeks ago after the rain. Use common sense if you are up on a windy ridge. Dry grass and forest duff will burn later in the day, but it’s been cold, and the sun is low.
That’s not a burn pile.
Either they lost control of the burn pile(s) or they intended to burn off a meadow.
Either way, I wouldn’t want the fire climbing into the oak the way the photo makes it seem.
Also a good idea to inform Cal-Fire of large-scale burns so resources and tax dollars don’t get spent unnecessarily.
Somebody needs to keep an eye on these guys…
