On this day & always the Fire Family reflects on the 1953 Rattlesnake Fire, Mendocino NF.
Hashtag Never Ever Forgotten..
If you dont know the story & the story behind the story check out the Lessons Learned Center page for the Rattlesnake. Their story & the Wx behind the story are required reading if you are responding to fires in nops imo..
Definitely been a slow year so far.

Also means those who live outside their means will be selling their $120k trucks by September for half the price. Start checking Marketplace next month for a great deal. The seasonal’s aren’t making any OT.
I thought there was tons and tons of OT available for folks making up for the 66.
No….that’s not happening
“so far”… Dry as hell right now in Plumas County, with noticeable winds every afternoon. It ain’t over until the snow flies, and last winter we saw very little of that.
