@CAgovernor You are already billions of dollars in debt and way over budget but still spending money. Padding your pockets as you leave the office and contribute to your presidential campaign. You were supposed to leave things better than you found it. Unfortunately, you failed @CAgovernor

[Robert D Barnett @Firefighterdale]

@CAgovernor You're the corrupt machine that created the fraud. Say goodbye Gavin, you're fired!

@DefiyantlyFree Perhaps it was payment for an assassination on a certain Presidential Candidate.
Or some shush money to keep them quiet about an assassination attempt.

Red Flag Warnings and Fire Weather Watches are in effect across many parts of California from 11 AM Tuesday through 7 AM Thursday due to strong offshore winds, near-critical relative humidity with poor overnight recovery, and dry fuels. These conditions pose a significant fire risk across both coastal and inland areas. As a reminder, California’s 2024 fire season runs through December 31, 2024.

Some of California's most devastating wildfires have occurred in late autumn and early winter, particularly in November and December. Every dry, windy day up until then holds the potential for wildfires. Stay informed, stay vigilant, and make sure you’re prepared.

Fire retardant is used by CAL FIRE and other wildland response agencies to slow wildfires until ground resources can extinguish them. The bright color allows pilots to see where the retardant has been applied, but have you ever wondered how to get rid of that pink residue once you’re back home?

Watch this video for helpful tips on how to clean off fire retardant, from washing down surfaces to caring for plants that may have been affected.

Even as fall arrives, temperatures remain high & vegetation is at its driest in many parts of California. Stay vigilant—wildfire risks are still very real. Be prepared & ready for potential evacuations. Learn more at https://t.co/gIN3kROUQ7 #Fall

After a wildfire, CAL FIRE Damage Inspection Teams move in to assess every property within the fire’s perimeter. The findings are collected, reviewed, & shared with the county for public release.

After three weeks of dedicated management, CAL FIRE Incident Management Team (IMT) 4 is transitioning out of the #ParkFire operation as IMT 6 steps in to continue the crucial work of increasing containment, completing fire suppression repair, and ensuring the safety and well-being of the affected communities.

This transition is part of a scheduled relief activation, aimed at ensuring the health, wellness, and adequate rest for our dedicated team members. We extend our sincere thanks to IMT 4 for their efforts and welcome IMT 6 as they take over the operation.
