Thank you Humboldt Firefighters. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I believe it would be “Thank you Trinity Firefighters”
But I’m fine with it either way
Yes actually, it would be Trinity Fire Fighters!!! Mad River is several milesl into Trinity county!!!
The side of county line creek is actually in Humboldt. It’s my neighbors house, 5 mile down 8 mile. Definitely in Humboldt peeps.
Thank you Federal Firefighters 🔥🏡🌲
Hhmmmmm wondering if they were trying to keep there “weed warm”?
Probably not that warm haha. But yeah I’d bet most of these cabin fires lately are related… seems to be a lot of them. Also could be un-local workers who don’t know how to be fire safe. Damn it’s not looking good for the rain this year.
Desperately YES!!!! The sooner the better before all of Nor Cali burns!!!
it’s getting so cold at night, and the days are less than half the time, this is the tail end of fire season. It seems almost impossible to get the fire behavior of July and August.
Flue fires are common too this time of year
