INYOKERN, Calif., Saturday, Kern County firefighters responded to reports of a vegetation fire four miles west of the Brown Rd and Hwy 395 intersection. Upon arrival, a search of the canyon was completed to ensure no individuals were camping or hiking in the area. Kern County firefighters worked to coordinate incoming resources while beginning fire suppression along the fire’s perimeter. Once BLM resources arrived, a transfer of command was made, and Kern County resources were completed.
