2.3 Acres Burned in Manila Yesterday
Press release from Arcata Fire:
At 5:37 PM Arcata Fire District responded to a Vegetation fire in the area of Carlson road in Manila. Initial 911 calls reported a large smoke column and possible structures threatened by the approaching fire. Responding units were able to contain the fire to 2.3 acres of heavy brush and grass. No structures that were threatened were damaged by the fire. Fire units remained on scene approximately five hours until a control line was completely around the fire.
Units from Arcata Fire District, Humboldt Bay Fire, Samoa peninsula Fire District and Calfire contributed to the successful outcome of this incident. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Arcata Fire District would like to remind everyone of the need to provide a defensible space around their homes. Having 100 feet of space between your home and the wildland may make all the difference. Although it seems wet outside, the fire potential is still high as we have seen in this case. It’s only march, it will be a long summer.

Sounds like a thrilla in Manilla.
A HOT time in the old town & all that!!!
Just FYI, There is only 1 L in Manila, both the Philippine City as well as the town on the Peninsula in Arcata!!!
Darn it. That is a mistake I just keep making. Thank you, Dan. Fixed now.
You’re welcome!!!
Manila isn’t in Arcata.
OK My bad, Between Arcata & Eureka!!! The Post Office considers it Arcata for mailing purposes, or did at least when I lived in Manila, Ca!!!
Arcata has er… ‘extended’ their domain to cover Manila.
Yup. They keep moving the other side of the tracks.
