Picture of the Day - Scott Fire Early On
Just after 1 p.m. today a wildland fire broke out in the hills southeast of Ukiah and immediately exploded across the BLM-managed landscape despite the nearby presence of a lot of aerial firefighting resources due to the ebbing North Pass Fire and the flowing Sixteen Complex. Below is an image taken at 2:02 p.m. PDT by a Caltrans traffic webcam located at the intersection of Highway 101 and Highway 20 a short distance north of Ukiah and looking southward.
