Just after 9:30 p.m., the fire department estimated the fire had already burned 50 acres and said it was still growing.
State fire officials are calling this blaze the Battle Creek 2 Fire. Another blaze — the Battle Creek Fire — burned 50 acres in that same area in August, FOX13 reported.
This story is developing and will be updated.
