This afternoon at approximately 4:10 air and ground fire resources were dispatched to reports of a vegetation fire burning south of Laytonville near the 44000 block of North Highway 101.
Fire engines, aircraft, a helicopter, and a dozer were en route to the incident but proved unnecessary after crews on the scene reported they had stopped the forward progress of the fire described as big a football field.
Resources will be on scene this evening mopping up the burn area for the next three hours.
