Fire flares up again near Highway 168 in Northeast Fresno
A fire in Northeast Fresno flared up for a second time Saturday night.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A fire in Northeast Fresno flared up for a second time Saturday night.

Crews from Clovis responded to the area of Highway 168 and Shaw Avenue around 9 p.m. They managed to get the flames under control in about 30 minutes.

This is the same fire that sent smoke billowing over the highway earlier in the day. The flames also lit up a tree that turned bright orange. Firefighters say the fire started when a bush somehow went up in flames.
