A fire next to a Ukiah sawmill was quickly contained to 5 to 10 acres this past Saturday. It started on the 2900 block of North State Street next to Mendocino Forest Products around 3:50 PM. The fire prompted responses from several fire crews, including a tanker and helicopter. It was contained within a couple of hours with some logs at the timber yard burnt and potentially some machinery. The cause of the fire remains unknown.
