East Pierce firefighters are responding to a reported wildland fire in the hills above Wilkeson, according to a post on the IAFF Local 3520 Facebook page.

The poster urged caution against unnecessary alarm, as dispatch had only received one report so far.

The caller from Spiketon advised they had seen what appeared to be a wildfire in the hills.
