These firefighters are true heroes that get little attention. As a Marine I appreciate and Thank these guys for serving to protect us at home from these often destructive fires.

Where is navy base and stamps? Looks like a nights work. Thanks FFs & their families.
Thanks to the fire dept’s quick efforts….. since PG and E could have called a future Humboldt PSPS if it got any bigger.
