UKIAH, CA., 9/12/18 — A small wildfire broke out off of Low Gap Rd. a little ways up from Ukiah High School, but it was very quickly contained. A quick response by CalFire and local departments, including significant aircraft, made quick work of the fire, though CalFire crews may remain for another three hours to mop up.

CalFire said over the scanner that the fire will not impact Ukiah High’s back-to-school night, tonight, nor parking.*

*Correction: The original version of this article erroneously stated that there was a football game tonight. Tonight is back to school night.
