Jets for a fire in Orick? Really? That’s nuts, most people have trouble starting a camp fire there! LMAO! I guess in fire season every agency needs some action to bill and feel good about themselves.

Uh, even a small fire can get out of control. We have too many right now. Nobody wants see another one. Quick action stopped this one from becoming a monster. Thank you to all of the fire fighters.

Orick = fog and dripping trees / need to be needed + pension / fire fee increase = orick wild fires…

nothing like this ever happened when motorhomes could park on the beach.

destroyed orick economy + government workers = paper work and fake fires that need jets.

restore Humboldt without government trash

[edit] you have no idea what fire can do just the way you reply. You need to and then come back and reply, I bet you have another paradigm.

Not a picture of a jet. Looks like a Gruman S-2 an OLD plane, retrofitted Turbo Prop engines and longer wings. Old school bomber on steroids!
