Photos from Today’s Fire in Orleans Where Locals Were Evacuated Due to Chemical Fumes

Today, several residents of the Orleans area were evacuated as hazardous fumes spread from a residential fire off of Ishi-Pishi Road. A private company reportedly had tented the two story home and was fumigating it when for unknown reasons it caught fire. (See earlier story here.)

Multiple fire departments as well as the US Forest Service, Cal Fire, the Office of Emergency Services and various environmental agencies were called to the scene.

I love the name of the road – Ishi-Pishi. The photos are very nice, too.

I hope the firefighters were able to protect themselves – modern structure fires and the extra toxic smoke kills…………one more way these people put themselves ‘on the line’ for us……………
