Why is there only information on fires in SoHum? What about the rest of the county? There were 3 fires in hoopa today. One was over 30 acres.

You do so well, Kym! I live on the flight path, so I hear and often see aerial response. I am glad that our responders have a fight-first policy, but often I can’t find information when I hear a fire plane go over and circle (it is a very distinctive sound). In this weather, a fire plane circling can be scary, but I can always count on RHBB for the facts. Many thanks.

Friend heading south from Fortuna called and asked me to check with you why he’s seeing so much smoke to the west (of 101 south of Fortuna). He is staying a little east of Weott on the main stem. We appreciate all the info you provide for the whole community!
