The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has observed an increased gamma-ray flux from a source positionally consistent with the radio source B2 0619+33/VCS J0622+3326 (RA: 06h22m52.221945s, Dec: +33d26m10.41027s, J2000; Kovalev et al. 2007, AJ 133, 1236). The source was detected in a high state September 1-4, 2010. Preliminary analysis indicates that on September 3, 2010 the flare reached a peak gamma-ray flux (E>100MeV) of 1.0 ±0.2*10-6 photons cm-2 s-1 (errors are statistical only).
