We call attention on our recent observation of the Gamma Ray source 3FGLJ1454.5+5124 related with the quasar SBS1452+516 (z=1.0831) On March 28th,2018,(JD24582015.0015), we found this blazar to be in a new outburst. It showed fluxes about 1.5 magnitudes brighter than our previous NIR photometry. On this date the source had J = 13.445 +/- 0.07 , H = 12.718 +/- 0.05 and Ks = 11.831+/- 0.07, the source is brightest since the time we started monitoring it on JD 2455689. This source has being flaring in the past, we reported previous activity of this source in ATEL#3347, ATEl#6282 and Atel#9241. Our observations are carried out with the CANICA a NIR camera on the 2.1m telescope at the Observatorio Astrofisico Guillermo Haro, located in Cananea, Mexico. We encourage further multiwavelength observations.
