This is going to be a very scary fire season and all the over growth people have in their yards isnt going to help the cause.
This is indeed going to be a very scary fire season. Have a emergency evacuation plan ready!!
Lots of Cal Fire Trucks out here. Thank goodness for state wildfire crews! Great job.
Wildfire crews are real firefighters
ECCFPD was released Thursday afternoon? We’re they even at this fire? All I saw was Cal Fire personel and equipment. Also Thursday afternoon has not come yet….
I see dry weeds i front yards all over the neighborhoods in cities like Antioch. God only knows what’s in their back yards. Weeds so high and so try that one flick of a cigarette would have an entire neighborhood go up in flames. The high winds would carry embers far. Why don’t the cities’ code enforcement people drive through the neighborhoods and see for themselves? Or, maybe they can get some drones with cameras up there to see what’s where! This is highly dangerous. Would the fire stations send their people out to tell people to mow the stuff down?
