Thick smoke headed straight up on this windless morning around 9 a.m. when a kiln fire erupted at the nearby Coldstream Lumber remanufacturing plant.
Five or six small "pops" (explosions) could be heard and tall Cottonwood trees bordering the creek candled within seconds. The kiln appears to be entirely lost. Despite flames encroaching into the main canvass-roofed building, it likely sustained minor damage as firefighters were quickly on scene.
Golfers stated Ricardo Road was closed to traffic as crews battled the fire.
Hopefully no injuries resulted as crews continued to mop up an hour later.
"Well-trained fire crews are a blessing," offers Kia.
UPDATE: Within 2 hours, the fire appears well under control:
