MENDOCINO CO., 7/19/17 — A small vegetation fire is burning on Orr Springs Road, a slow-burning blaze that has just reached about a quarter acre in size. The fire, called the “Orr Fire,” was first reported by CalFire at around 4:35pm. An air attack is in progress and ground resources are also responding; two outbuildings are currently threatened. We’ll update as more information becomes available.
