Fire units are at the scene of a wildfire burning at New Melones Lake on the Tuolumne County side, off Highway 49 about 1/4 mile east of the New Melones Visitors Center.
The fire was first reported at 3:45 p.m. this afternoon and is about 3 acres in size burning up from the lake.
Right now fire officials say the fire is not threatening structures in the Jack Ass Hill area.
Aircraft and additional grounds units are heading that way.
We will keep you updated.
