People driving over the Samoa Bridge into Eureka this morning will see a tall plume of smoke fading into the fog. Humboldt Bay Fire has been called to a small wildfire — approximately 20x20 feet — at the foot of T Street.

Firefighters are having a bit of difficulty getting their gear to the site. Despite the small size of the fire, and this morning’s drippy, favorable firefighting conditions, the company on scene expects to be there for at least a couple of hours. We will update when we know more.
