Humboldt Bay Fire spent part of its Friday afternoon battling a pair of small vegetation fires — the larger an acre in size — on the Hikshari Trail near the end of Truesdale Street in Eureka. As is often the case in this part of town, HBF believes these to be a transient-related mini-blazes. 

“Most likely intentionally set,” HBF Battallion Chief Kent Hulbert told the Outpost at the scene. “I have no reason to believe otherwise.”

HBF put the fire out. The end (until next time).
