It is under control. Several neighbors heroically fought it with shovels and dirt until CalFire, Briceland Fire, and a RedwayFD water tender arrived and quickly did their magic. I watched it from two small ridges away, keeping the closest elderly neighbors appraised. Thanks to all those men who put their lungs and lives on the line for the whole neighborhood.
Whew!
Motor home on fire=mobile trim shack?
This is the second time in two articles you decided drugs were a factor. In this area, in these times, I’d tend to agree.
Wow! That was a friggin awesome drop, low & sweet!
Amazing pilot!
SWEET DROP!
Look like a direct hit.
Hick. I agree.
What’s up with all these fires? Used to be occasionally a crash would start a fire. Now it is common for them to catch fire.
Those pilots have guts. Moving that fast and still doing a job.
Damn fine folks
Motor home pilots?
Is that Steve Perishes Spot?
It was a real shit show from what I heard.
A real tweaker fest the Sheriff brushed off.
That is because they hate us and think it’s funny.
A bunch off assholes with warrants running into the woods.
