As usual a fantastic job by Humboldt Bay Fire knocking this unattached garage fire down before it got to the two story home. I for one am proud of all our local firefighters for their never ending support to our community at all times of the day and night. I am really pleased to read that there were not injuries.

Typical “let’s have a farm in the city” yuppie couple from San Diego -? SF? LA? Redding? lol
If you want farm animals, buy a farm. Simple. City life should not be a cacophony of DOMESTIC animal squeaks, squeals, screams, barks and rooster wakeup calls. Ridiculous arrogance of liberal fake “back to earthers.” Like a “skywalk” in a zoo. Tourist BS. Leave nature alone. Two legged entitlement beasts, stay in your suburbs. If you drive, you prove you hate the wild anyway. Otherwise, everyone else has to worry about your shiny Harley burning the neighborhood down.

WTF are you even talking about. A lot of people raise chickens around here. And what does the Harley have to do with anything. Sounds more like your a city folk that should go back to the city.

I’m happy for neighbors who get fresh eggs from yard poultry than make less noise than most dogs. Get a life.
