Small fire in Fall Creek just the latest in string of flare-ups

Felton Empire Road was shut down for part of the afternoon of Monday, Aug. 19, while Cal Fire crews battles a wildland fire that charred at least a quarter of an acre of land in the Fall Creek region of Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park.
The fire was rapidly brought under control, and no injuries or property damage was reported as of 5 p.m. Monday, but the fire is the lastest in a disturbing trend of small fires in recent weeks.
