sure have a lot of fires in that area I’m assuming it’s the homeless that start them I don’t know what they can do to prevent them but if one ever gets away from him it could be devastating I don’t know why you’re so stupid when we were growing up we were taught how to put out a fire I just hope nobody ever gets injured it’s costing the city money and Manpower

Or someone setting them deliberately. It seems this is happening quite regularly.

How come homeless people are the only ones that know how to start fires? Just wondering.

Have you ever seen a homeless person try to program a thermostat, though.

🕯🌳This has been a problem spot for Eureka for years. They were threatened to have there city insurance taken away if they didn’t deal with they problem and everytime they do they just keep on coming back. Solutions not harrassment is what is needed.

Easy and cheap solution.

Take out/trim out the willows and brush. Make it mow-able.
Bums don’t like that.
