🕯🌳Damn. Be careful firefighters. 👨🚒👨🚒
who are these stupid people-rancher or growers????
Stupid? We are law abiding citizens going up to cut firewood. Don’t be so quick to judge [edit]!
A good time to remind everyone a fire extinguisher is a lifesaver in your vehicle.
Imagine watching your truck burn and you cant do a darn thing about it.
Any updates on this fire??
