Fire on Hillside Prompts Full Closure of Highway 96 East Hum 17.00
AI SUMMARY: A fire was reported on the hillside one foot from the roadway at 1700 Highway 96 East in Hum 17.00. The Hoopa Fire Department was transferred to handle the situation and requested that the Department of Transportation (DOT) close the roadway at mile marker 16.53 and an additional 150 yards north. The fire was estimated to be 3-4 acres in size, with moderate rate of spread, and debris rolling off the hill onto the road. The DOT planned to close Highway 96 from mile marker 14.85 to 17.75. One-way traffic control was expected to be implemented once the fire was no longer near Highway 96. The road remained closed for emergency personnel only, and re-fueling efforts were planned for the following day. Highway 96 was fully closed until further notice.
