Please keep us updated, the wind could spread this real quick.
But the rain is expected soon too. This is pretty early for a vegetation fire.
Saw the fire from the Mad River bridge in Blue Lake about 7am and the hillside was really glowing. Hopefully they can contain the fire with the winds coming up. I didn’t hear many sirens.
This picture is from Greenwood Aven, Blue Lake. Blue Lake, Fieldbrook and Arcata are on it. Most of the flames are down.
Hope your right ,with these winds embers can carry pretty far.
I lived on Greenwood Ave for a LOT of years!!! I grew up between the Catholic Church & the Fire Dept, MANY years ago!!! Just down the sterret from the school, which I graduated from!!!
Yes pls keep alert for embers!!!!
What idiot would be burning during a wind storm
