Go, Cal Fire!! Thank you!!
I saw 3 of our local United States Forest Service engines there as well lets not forget about them. I also saw them helping to clean up after fighting the fire by spraying down driveways, structures and vehicles that had been hit by aircraft retardant.
Thank you for posting this so quickly! Everyone is wondering what is going on!
Thanks for the notice, Sentinel! Haven't heard anything on the news!
