I concur. Thank you to all of the firefighters who will be especially busy this season, as a rainy season generally is followed by a dry one. Mother Nature is like that.

No doubt this has to do with retaliation for raiding the weed farms. Thanks to law enforcement for putting firefighters in harms way

Law enforcement did not put fire fighters in harm’s way the person or people that started the fire did
