Please remember that this story is unfolding. Information is being reported as we gather it. However, some of the information coming from witnesses and initial official reports could be wrong. We will do our best to get the facts but, in the case that something is inaccurate, we will update with correct information as soon as we can.
Cal Fire recommends EXTREME CAUTION while on the rez and burning settlers wagons.
Around one hundred seventy five years too late for that fight Budge.
Just a bit of smoke signalling, cell phones are too pricey and too traceable.
Uncalled for statement unless you want Cal Fire to get a law suit for this kind of statement….Do you work for Cal Fire? If not, Im sure they don’t agree with you’re statement….. Chill out on your kind of thoughts towards Tribes in the area…. They help out the community in many ways…
This was beautiful Admin. Thank you for your reflections.
THANKS BIDEN!!!!!!!
