CDF ‘‘chased smoke signals”’ on Banner Mountain Sunday. A plane flew to spot fires reported by the Banner Mountain Lookout. However, the fires proved to be ‘harmless and legal” and caused by property owners who had a fire going in a fireplace on their property. A blade struck a rock to spark a fire when a resident of Indian Flat was mowing grass Sunday afternoon. The owner had a sprinkler afid hose available and had things pretty well under control when CDF and the 49ers arrived. And then CDF and 49er fire men combined to attack a blaze off the North Bloomfield Road near the nail factory. This one was caused by a 4-wheel drive vehicle pulling a shipping container. The equipment got stuck and heat from the manifold started the fire. A Tahoe Forest tanker and helicopter flew on the blaze. The Nevada City Fire Department rolled on a house fire at 332 Drummond Street late Saturday night. The cause and dollar damage is unknown at this time. The blaze started in the front portion and the front and part of the interior were damaged. The house, rented to tenants, is owned by Mrs. Edward T. Bonner of the bay area. Firemen from other departments assisted, A Nevada City spokesman said. CDF and Watt Park Saturday combined to put down two fires 10 minutes apart on Old Auburn Highway. The causes are not yet determined. The first blaze was in a spot of timber.
