At approximately 9:05 p.m., multiple calls came into the emergency dispatch center reporting smoke and flames seen near 5th and Railroad tracks in Arcata off Samoa Blvd.

When firefighters arrived they didn’t see any flames, however, about 9:15 p.m. firefighters responded to the report of a badly burned individual at 10th and O Streets in Arcata. An ambulance was requested to respond Code 3.
Circle around a red marker shows the building where the victim was located. A second red circle shows the location that a structure fire was originally reported.
After firefighters arrived on scene, they called for a second ambulance. The second ambulance was cancelled later though.
Firefighters then headed back into a vacant area near where the fire was originally reported.

After attending to the injured person, the fire crew returned to the originally reported site near the vacant area to continue their investigation into the cause of the smoke and flames. At this point, we don’t know the identity of the injured person or the circumstances of the incident.

I got two words for you: Earth Flag!
I’m just getting up to speed, but I think Namer is due the Alex Jones Award for Journalistic Excellence!
Isnt Soros supposed to be part of a Jewish cabal bent on world domination by paying protesters individually in little backwater college towns all over the country, and..uh paying immigrants to invade, and faking the death of Patrick Swayze, and the moon landing? Are you implying Soros is paying extra to counter protest the college kids? Is there a secret Kamala Harris underground world domination headquarters access hatch down there by O st.? Aren’t the college kids economic elites, who are communist, and are offended by getting paid to work? Is Soros perhaps responsible for the massive pro Israel counter protest at the courthouse? What’s the benefit of the extra pay if you are burned? I thought Soros wants us all on socialized medicine, wouldn’t the extra pay disqualify you from MediCal? I’m still looking for the protest pay website, I would consider protesting if I didn’t have to start until after 10. Where do you sign up?.. for just the standard stuff, like violent tik tok dancing.
It was conspiracy all right, but not the way you think, the conspiracy being all on Nixon and his people (it’s not the crime, but the cover-up). The time it unfolded from the break-in in early 1972 to Nixon’s resignation was about 2 and half years, the Pardon coming a month later. The Republicans who came to the Oval Office, Goldwater and the two Republican leaders of the Senate and the House told him it was over. He resigned the next day.
Equating that to the “Soros is behind it all!” that has been going on for literally decades is…amusing.
It would be bad enough if it was self immolation. But if someone set someone else on fire as has happened in thd past, it would be beyond horribly ugly. Not appropriate for bad humor in comments.
Bad burns … ugh. That is the worst. Hoping the patient fares ok.

First of all, burns are the absolute worst pain possible, and the pain doesn’t stop for months so I hope for the victims recovery.
That being said, this comment section is already filled with a of majority trash comments. Alex jones conspiracies completely disregarding the actual article. Then tack on this guy joe saying “Bums being bums”. that’s fucking heartless.
I’m going to bow out for a bit, sorry and good luck Kym.
Numerous threads on this site are degraded by the off topic comments which are a violation of the rules. Kym routinely allows this, but why I don’t know.
I like to see freedom of speech I don’t always agree and sometimes I think people are drunk at the time of their comments don’t get to caught up with people’s distasteful posts it just encourages more

Is Soros paying extra for self immolation now?

Remember when Watergate was a conspiracy theory?? I do——–

Hell, I’m still waiting for my Soros check from 2004! And my pony!
Follow up question…Space Lasers down? Maybe it was overcast in Arcata…

I suppose you were a Pizzagate believer too
and furthermore do you need to turn this tragedy into a forum for your twisted political ideas, have a heart for crying out loud.
