WILLITS, 7/7/20 — A small vegetation fire has broken out just off of U.S. Route 101, north of Piercy on the Mendo-Humboldt line. Piercy Fire has responded, as has Cal Fire and resources from Humboldt County, it’s unclear if the fire is in Humboldt or Mendocino county, and it may be directly on the county line. The fire is near exist 627.
A fair number of resources are responding but so far details are sparse. A small fire was sparked and Cal Fire aircraft appear to have responded to that. In addition, Cal Fire planes based in Ukiah have been flying over to Colusa County for a blaze in those hills.
As of 3:20 p.m. firefighters were heard to say over the scanner that a portion of the fire was looking good but that some spotting was happening.
