Ruth, California is located in Humboldt County, he is really in the Six Rivers National Forest. (Humboldt County, oddly enough, happens to be a place my mom spent some of her childhood. ) The assignment he's working on is called the MAD Complex with 4 fires covering a total of over 2,500 acres. The report today says-- timber, brush and grass. Increased fire activity with isolated torching. Residences threatened. Ok. I go here for the latest activity.
