[From the AlertFire Webcam]

At approximately 4:50 p.m. firefighters were dispatched to a vegetation fire burning along Ukiah’s North State Street near the Thurston’s Auto car dealership. 

Initial reports described the fire as one acre in size and burning along a railroad track. The Incident Commander reported the fire had the potential to spread 10-15 acres.

According to CA Fire Scanner, a private site but a respected, long-term commenter on fires, this incident is known as the Pallini Fire. The site described how the Incident Command had requested a helicopter to assist with water drops and a single air tanker was overhead then returned to Ukiah. The fire was described as having “limited potential boxed in by the creek, roads & industrial properties, final update unless something changes.”

At one point in the AlertFire Redwood Valley webcam, a column of black smoke could be seen burning.
