Law enforcement was searching for a suspect after a brush fire at Palo Cedro Tuesday morning. Located south of Highway 44 and west of Deschutes Road, the fire started just after 9AM and was quickly contained by Cal Fire/Shasta County Fire. A man was seen fleeing into the wooded area just east of Gilbert Road. Cal Fire Law Enforcement searched the area with help from a CHP helicopter but apparently the suspected arsonist was not found.
