@CAL_FIRE announced our newly formed Fire Innovation Unit (FIU) at the @RedSkySummit with week!
This unit is designed to drive forward-thinking technological advancements and innovative solutions to enhance our firefighting capabilities and resilience.

On Memorial Day, #CALFIRE honors the enduring legacy of those who gave their lives in defense of our nation. Their sacrifice is a solemn reminder of the cost of liberty and the strength of those who choose to serve a cause greater than themselves.
Their courage and sacrifice continue to shape the values we hold and the communities we serve. We stand in reverence with their families and communities as we remember the fallen.
#MemorialDay #HonorTheFallen #NeverForgotten
‼️NEW INFO: The TRUTH About Karmelo — This from Kevin Haynes of facebook.
Let’s Set the Record Straight!
Enough with the misinformation. Let’s talk about facts.
1️⃣ It’s NORMAL for students from different schools to gather under another school’s tent. Karmelo had friends there—he wasn’t trespassing or looking for trouble.
2️⃣ The claim that one of the twins had never seen Karmelo before? A blatant lie.
3️⃣ No student has the right to remove another student from a SCHOOL-OWNED tent. The school owns the tent—not the twins.
4️⃣ Karmelo is a track athlete. The twins are NOT. He wasn’t even expecting to see them there.
Now, here’s what they don’t want you to know:
⚠️ The twins didn’t just “ask him to leave.” They tried to JUMP him.
⚠️ Before attacking him, they tried to take his belongings, BROKE his phone, and STOMPED on it.
⚠️ The twins are KNOWN BULLIES.
So ask yourself: If two 200+ lb attackers came at YOUR child, what would you expect them to do?
And yet, despite everything, the media is trying to destroy Karmelo’s name. They keep posting a picture of him with an AIRSOFT GUN—not even a real firearm—to manipulate public perception. Why? Because they want to paint him as a criminal instead of a victim.
Let’s talk about WHO Karmelo really is:
✅ A respectful, well-mannered young man
✅ A 4.0 student with multiple college offers
✅ A kid with ZERO criminal history—not even a blemish
✅ A son raised in a loving home by parents who taught him right from wrong
A life was lost, and that is tragic. But what’s also tragic is the way the media is twisting this story to fit their own agenda.
Karmelo defended himself against violent aggressors. That is NOT a crime.
Do NOT let the media race-bait you. Do NOT let them manipulate the facts.
From Fighting Wildfires to High-Speed Thrills!
CAL FIRE Assistant Region Chief Josh Nettles is no stranger to the skies - he’s spent years directing aerial firefighting traffic as an Air Tactical Group Supervisor.
But strapping into the backseat of a @BlueAngels F/A-18? That’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
See Chief Nettles take flight with one of the world’s most elite aviation teams, and don’t miss #CALFIRE at the California Capital Airshow March 22-23!
Stop by to see our aircraft and ground resources up close and catch the @USNavy Blue Angels in action as they take to the skies in an unforgettable performance.
