Scanner traffic beginning around 6:55 p.m. indicated a vehicle is “fully involved” on the 16600 block of Fort Bragg’s Franklin Road.

Air and ground resources have been dispatched to the incident.

An overview of the area shows a significant amount of trees and vegetation, but there is no information offered thus far that indicates the fire has spread into the wildland.

UPDATE 7:08 p.m.: A report of conditions provided by firefighters on the scene indicates the vehicle is fully engulfed in flames with minimal spread to the nearby vegetation. All resources have been canceled besides Fort Bragg Fire.

Unsure if related, but scanner traffic indicates that a reporting party in the vicinity of the fire heard multiple gunshots and a woman yelling.


UPDATE 7:56 p.m.: The Incident Commander reported the fire is under control and resources are being released.

I like to think of myself as a reporter for the Average Joe. Journalism has become a craft defined largely by city dwellers on America's coasts. It’s time to take it back. I have been an Emerald Triangle resident since 2006 and this is year ten in Mendocino County. Please, email me at matthewplafever@gmail.com if you know a story that needs to be told.
