A residential structure fire in Redwood Valley is spreading into nearby wildlands prompting requests for more resources. There are upwards of six engines and three water tenders at the scene working to extinguish the flames.

The fire reportedly began around 6:57 p.m. around the 1500 block of Road D when a fridge inside a kitchen caught on fire.

Around 8:30 p.m. a crew of firefighters transitioned to combat the flames extending into nearby wildland. The total acreage of wildland affected is unknown at this point.

Multiple water tenders have been requested to the scene because there are no fire hydrants close enough to be used.

The ‘Kitchen Fire’ can be seen from the Redwood Valley AlertCalifornia wildfire cameras and as of 8:51 p.m., the fire is still actively burning.


UPDATE 9:31 p.m.: The following photographs were sent to us by Eric Nordendale and depict the enormity of the fire.
