Early Monday afternoon, firefighters responded to a report of a vegetation fire that had spread to numerous vehicles and was threatening several structures.
The Orland Volunteer Fire Department received the initial call. Chief Justin Chaney soon called for mutual aid from the Capay, Artois, Hamilton City, and Willows Fire Departments.
The fire was soon brought under control, and help from Willows was cancelled. Thanks in part to the winds, a spot fire or two ignited in a field south of where the vehicles were burning.
The fire occurred south of a residence in the 6300 block of County Road 24, on the south side of Road 24, just west of Interstate 5 and County Road I.
Additional information may be available in the not-distant future.

As reported here on March 30, Glenn County transient Arlo Little was shot in Orland sometime before midnight on Sunday, March 28.
At about 11:50 p.m., Orland Police Officer Kris Fullmore was dispatched to Glenn Medical Center in Willows to contact the victim of a gunshot wound. Upon Officer Fullmore’s arrival, he contacted Glenn County Sheriff’s Deputy Clinton Turner, who told him the gunshot victim, identified as Arlo Little, 31 at the time, had arrived at the emergency room with a gunshot wound.
Deputy Turner told Officer Fullmore that the incident occurred in Orland, and that Little arrived at Glenn Medical Center in a silver 2001 Honda Accord, license plate #4NZP867, which was in the hospital’s parking lot. Deputy Turner also told Officer Fullmore that a witness was standing by, outside the emergency room.
In the parking lot, Officer Fullmore found a silver Honda Accord with a shattered front passenger window, held together by window tint. The window had what appeared to be a bullet hole in the lower left corner.
Deputy Turner told Officer Fullmore that prior to Fullmore’s arrival, Turner spoke with Little, who alleged that Josh Holden was the suspect who shot him. Little also said the shooting occurred at Savanah Rios’ house on Tehama Street in Orland.
While Deputy Troy McIntire stood by with the Honda, Officer Fullmore contacted Little, who was being prepped by emergency room medical staff for transportation by Enloe Flightcare helicopter to Enloe Medical Center in Chico.
Little was shirtless and Officer Fullmore noted he had a puncture wound on the inside of the lower part of his right arm, as well as a puncture that was consistent with a gunshot wound to the right side of his abdomen. Fullmore also noticed a laceration or abrasion on the left side of Little’s face, below his left eye.
Little claimed that he and a companion (the witness who was earlier said to be waiting outside of the emergency room) went to Orland to meet someone who owed him money. Little stated that when they arrived at the residence, a man holding a gun got out of a red car and demanded Little’s money.
According to Little, the man then proceeded to shoot him. Little said the man then ran off and Little and his companion also left the area.
Little said he did not know who the shooter was because the shooter was wearing a mask. He also said he was not sure how he received the laceration to his face, but he assumed that he was pistol whipped.
Little was unable to describe the gun.
Prior to Little being transported to Enloe, it was asked if Little had been searched. Deputy Turner found a wad of cash and a small tied-off plastic baggie containing suspected heroin in Little’s front left pants pocket.
Officer Fullmore collected the cash and heroin as evidence and secured them in his patrol unit.
Little’s companion stated that Little had just purchased the Honda and he wanted him (his companion) to drive him to Orland to check the car out. The companion said that it was his impression that someone owed Little money, so they were going to collect it.
The companion stated that he and Little drove about a block or so up the street that runs along the east side of Dutch Bros., Ninth Street, which soon turns into Tehama Street. On Tehama Street, the companion stated that Little directed him to turn into a long driveway, where a red car was parked.
Little’s companion stated that when he pulled up to the red car, a man got out of the rear, driver’s side passenger door of the vehicle. Little got out of the Honda and the man immediately ran up to him and began arguing.
Little’s companion said that the man told Little to give him all his money. The companion stated that the man was waving around a small, black handgun.
Little told the companion to start the car and as soon as Little got back into the Honda and shut the door, the man shot Little through the front passenger window. The companion said that the man was not even a foot away from Little when he shot.
Little’s companion said that after the man shot, he ran away, not into the house but past it. The companion stated that he believed the incident to be drug-related, and that it was like the man set Little up.
The companion claimed he did not know who the shooter was, but Little called him “Josh.” The companion said that as Little and the man were arguing, Little asked, “What the fuck are you tripping on, Josh?”
The companion said that the shooting happened at about 11:30 p.m. He then drove Little to Glenn Medical Center.
Officer Fullmore had the Honda towed as evidence to the City of Orland Corporation Yard.
The officer then changed his location to Enloe Medical Center in Chico, where he was given Little’s clothing. He was also told that the bullet was lodged in Little’s left leg.
Officer Fullmore attempted to contact Little, but Little refused to speak with law enforcement.
At about 11:48 p.m., Orland Police Sergeant Sean Johnson was told by Glenn County Sheriff’s Sergeant Barry Corbin that the shooting had occurred at 714 Tehama Street, Orland. Officer Daryl Mills and Sgt. Johnson responded to that location to look for evidence of a shooting.
Officer Mills and Sgt. Johnson began to search the area, starting in the street in front of the residence. In the street, they found a few very small pieces of broken glass.
While searching the driveway of the residence, Sgt. Johnson found a single brass casing that appeared to be either .380 or 9mm. This was found about 60 feet south of the front door of the residence.
Officer Mills and Sgt. Johnson checked the side of the residence and noticed the gate on the east side of it, leading to the alley, was open. The alley behind the residence was checked, but no evidence was found.
Parked in front of the residence, Sgt. Johnson noticed a red 2002 Saturn L300 with no license plates. Around the driver’s side and passenger side doors, Sgt. Johnson noticed smudges in the dust that appeared as if they could be latent prints.
Sgt. Johnson then contacted a woman who was inside the residence. She stated she lives at the residence and no one else was home.
The woman said she had been asleep and did not hear any gunshots or arguments. She also said she had not seen Josh Holden in over a month, and that she does not know Arlo Little.
She said the owner of the red Saturn is her son, Joshua Sligar. According to the woman, Joshua Sligar had not been at the residence in about a week.
The red Saturn was also towed as evidence to the City of Orland Corporation Yard.
As mentioned here in late March, according to Arlo Little’s Facebook page, which appears to have been neglected for the last few years, he attended Willows High School, studied at Butte College, and lives in Willows.
Little has had numerous encounters with law enforcement. His Glenn County Jail booking information in recent years states that he is a Willows transient.
According to the Glenn County Superior Court, Little was found guilty of various crimes in 2016 and 2017. Most of the violations for which he was convicted were drug-related.
Most recently, in August of 2020, Little was convicted of misdemeanor domestic battery and possession of methamphetamine and was found in violation of probation for the fourth time.He was sentenced to 364 days in jail and probation was terminated.
The Orland Police Department urges anybody with information about the shooting of Arlo Little to contact the department at 530-865-1616.
“I don’t know,” comes the reply. “I’ve never kippled!” And what, you may be wondering, does this old joke involving author Rudyard Kipling have to do with the current Town and Country Humane Society doggy? Simple. This week’s canine is named after one of Kipling’s characters in his famous work, The Jungle Book. Specifically, his name is Baloo, who was the big bear in the Kipling stories. Our Baloo is a big boy, although not nearly as big as a bear. He is a two-year-old mixture of white Swiss shepherd, German shepherd, and American Staffordshire terrier. (They ran his DNA.) If you are interested in adopting this wonderful dog, call (530) 517-1754 to arrange to see him in person. The Town and Country Humane Society shelter is located on Highway 99 between between County Roads 21 and 23, south of Orland. It is a nonprofit run by volunteers committed to the idea of making life better for our furry friends. Glenn County Observer photo by Larry Judkins.
