- A small wildfire between Windsor and Healdsburg erupted Saturday afternoon — but it was quickly contained. Initially reported around 1:40 p.m. yesterday, the relatively small fire caused massive traffic delays, burned a few vehicles, and charred at least one structure; nearly 60 firefighters from surrounding communities, Sonoma County, and Cal Fire were on-site at one point to gain control of the flames, where helicopters also made airdrops; Sonoma County saw three like-sized blazes yesterday, though the other two proved less destructive.
