When OCFA FIRIS Air attacks are not covering Intel 12 & 24 for the great citizens of California, we provide live simulation training for Air Tanker companies throughout the United States.

@AHJohansson @zunibirdjoel I agree what's your suggestion for reliable data over incidents to make it happen today? Would it be a local mesh network only with Gotenna type devices not connected to the internet?

[Ventura County Sheriff @VENTURASHERIFF]

Early this morning, Jordan Ramirez walked to our @VCSOVentura station to thank members of the Sheriff's Office for our service to the community. Jordan is an amazing young man. See for yourself by getting to know him here: https://t.co/EpxeWhWkPn

@ktlagayle Probably need to build some power generation into the grid. Replacing just one average neighborhood gas stations transportation power requires mega amounts of generating capacity

@AHJohansson Makes it almost worth getting an android phone

[Battalion 5 @vcfdB5]

@stocktonfire Nice work. Nice to see the firefighter ready to get off the rig and go to work. I wonder was the man door holding or already burned through. The smoke made it seem as if it burned through or was left open

[Battalion 5 @vcfdB5]

@VCAirUnit @VENTURASHERIFF @VCFD Nice shot

[Joel Lane @zunibirdjoel]
