??Thank all personal involved in containing this fire and keeping themselves safe.
And wait for Fire season to be over and the rain start but we’re better off than we were last year much better off
The Henthorne fire is just north of a section of national forest that I spent a lot of time in, love intensely, and know very well. Much gratitude to the crews keeping it contained. Hopefully it will be quickly extinguished so they can fight the South and Red Bank Fires
