[Update 8:21 p.m.: Good News!] Fire Breaks Out East of Cooks Valley, Spreads to Vegetation Near Humboldt/Mendocino Line
Smoke is rising from a structure fire east of Cooks Valley. [Image from ALERTCalifornia]
FlightRadar shows Air Attack 120 circling above the fire.
As of 6:40 p.m., the fire had grown to approximately 1/8th of an acre, fueled by dry conditions in the area. Firefighters are working to contain the spread.
This is the third fire in Southeastern Humboldt since midnight, raising concerns about fire activity in the area as crews likely tired by being called out multiple times continue to battle multiple blazes. Palo Verde Fire Department, who has been called out all three times, is made up of volunteers. CAL FIRE crews are also responding. Garberville’s water tender has been asked to respond also.
Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
Please remember that information gathered from initial reports is subject to revision as more facts become available.
Update 8:21 p.m.: From our sister news site KMUD: “CalFire Battalion Chief Jeremy Ward stated that crews made good progress and there is no longer a threat of spread to the vegetation. He stated that crews will remain on scene for heavy mop up.”
