Out of state fire trucks undergoing CA emissions testing??

Not sure who you’re referring to but the link I posted is directly From Cal Fire

It makes sense if they’re are private engines. Many out of state resources are private and have to have a a safety inspection before hitting the line. Both mechanical and PPE. To do this at GS would be too overwhelming for the incident.

I believe this was posted as a question and we cleared the air(no pun intended) we did exactly what we were hoping to do here.

Original poster posted it simply as a ‘question’ and it has been explained. Keep it civil please.

This is a follow up tweet from the guy who started this rumor. Unfortunately, his original tweet got a million views and some media ran with it without following up. Shame on them.

This seems legit to me.

Except that it’s not. The forestry mechanics that would be doing this have a lot of right leaning’s and frankly don’t get paid enough to keep quiet about it.

There is a lot to be mad about with what has happened. Let’s not waste energy being mad about things that didn’t happen.

I doubt Cal Fire is in the “vehicle emissions testing” business. Inspecting for viability and safety makes sense. Firefight’s lives are on the line every minute they’re on the fire.

Oregon crews stopped at CALFIRE HQ in Sacramento for inspection. That’s it.
