Press release from the Arcata Fire District:

On July 10, 2023, at 8:15 A.M. firefighters from the Arcata Fire Protection District responded to a reported vehicle fire on the 1200 Block of Old Arcata Road in Bayside.   

The first arriving firefighters found a 2005 Porsche Cayenne fully engulfed in flames. The fuel tank had ruptured, causing the fire to spread down the street which created additional exposures for the engine teams to suppress. 

Two engines and a chief officer, California Highway Patrol, Arcata Police and the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department assisted with stopping through traffic on Old Arcata Road while the firefighters suppressed the fire. 

The cause of the fire is still unknown and under investigation by the Arcata Police.
