Fire at Scotia Mill
About 8:10 this evening, a heel boom, a piece of expensive equipment for loading logs, was reported on fire at the Scotia Mill. According to scanner traffic, the boom is fully engulfed in flames next to a log deck.
Scotia and Rio Dell Fire are fighting the flames.
UPDATE 9:21 p.m.: The fire is knocked down and firefighters are mopping up the mess.

Maybe that will keep them from blowing out black ash every single day.
I hope it is not serious
Kym do you have any info about the Scotia Inn closing soon?
I don’t. I’ve heard rumors but nothing solid.
The Inn closed last week but Miguels Restaurant is still open at this point
The Redwood Times has a good article.

Thank you! One of my favorite parts is when readers help other readers.
Kym, thank you for what you do. More and more, people will refer to your posts when mentioning a bit of news. I check you posts first when looking for local info. You make a big difference. There should be an ‘appreciation’ day about you and your work. (maybe every day?) Again, THANK YOU, KYM!
Aww, thank you.

Interesting perhaps maintenance of rolling stock and cleanup of the surroundings is important.
