At this point we are hearing that there is smoke coming out from under the eaves of a residence in that area but it isn’t very heavy.

Looks like the fire started outside next to the porch burning the debri,the fence, siding and going up into the rafters. Was this a discarded cigarette-“still light” cause? More than likely. Good job
It’s typical practice to burn your trash in fortuna.. I wonder if this is a trash related fire?
