Nice photos thank you
Hmmmm isn’t that the area the fbi raided?
Reed Mountain Road starts at the north end of Twin Trees Bridge and Twin Trees Road start at the south. The fire is several miles east from the incident yesterday.
Thank you! 🙂
O man that’s someones house right there. Hope everyones ok.
FBI raising & suddenly fire erupts. Coincidence? Those crews were staging Monday night – how observant are the locals. Hope no one is hurt by the fire but that is one way to get rid of “evidence”.
Your ignorant. Like nice marmot said thats someones house. That he worked hard for years to earn. Keep your two cents to yourself.
Your allegation seems rather unlikely and a drastic method, to dispose of possible evidence, during a chronic drought year. A family could be left destitute.
Thanks for the informative photos.
Two cents has not kept up with inflation! If any thing, It has devalued to equal the 9/10ths of a penny you get on every gallon of gas you buy.
Any updates on this fire?? Please!
