Photos: Kevin Bayless

Just before 4 p.m., scanner traffic indicated that there was a “heavily involved” vegetation fire on South Broadway, near the intersection with Purdue Street, across the highway from King Salmon. The first Humboldt Bay Fire truck on the scene reported the fire at about 50 feet by 20 feet in size, and in heavy brush. 

The fire was quickly contained — they’re mopping up now — but LoCO superfriend Kevin Bayless was kind enough to file some nice photos.
