Little Buck Mountain Residents, ‘Stay Extremely Vigilant,’ Says Cal Fire
Laura Coleman from Cal Fire tells us that the Little Buck Mt. Fire “isn’t growing but it isn’t contained.” There are close to 200 personnel battling the blaze overnight, she explained. “They are aggressively suppressing the fire but it is not contained.” Extra water tenders and strike teams are being brought to fight the flames, she said.
Residents should “stay extremely vigilant” tonight, Coleman warned. She asks that people in the area have their vehicles packed and ready for evacuation. “If they are asked to evacuate, they need to do that,” she stated.

Can you put a map, or more info on locations? (this is a general request! Not just this article….)
When I know a location, then I put up a map. But in this case I only know that the fire is on Little Buck Mountain Road and that is a pretty big area to cover.
“off Alderpoint Road & Wallan Road near Garberville”

That’s not accurate.
Hey Kym I saw activity off Dyerville Loop yesterday but no reports, then saw a comment about “the Eel Rock fire” — hopefully small & out! What do you know?
The Eel Incident was updated last night–small and out! https://kymkemp.com/2015/07/28/cal-fire-fights-three-multiple-fires-in-humboldt-heres-status-for-tuesday-evening/
