Caldor Fire: Tour of Echo Lake after fire ripped through | California Wildfires

[@sassylady2001]

Great information. So wonderful that fire crews saved by far most of these cabins. I watched the video yesterday of them fighting these fires. HOT Weather, MISERABLE conditions, dirt, dust, sawdust in your clothes, heavy equipment. THANK YOU so much Fire Fighters for all super human efforts.

Love this reporter as well - he does a great job.

"acrosst" what is that word?

This is so tragic, but thank goodness for the ground crews and B Camp is still there 💕

God Bless our Firefighters and keep them safe from harm. ✌😷👍

"Virtual tour" looks like an actual tour!

These fires we are having now are child’s play compared to the fires we’re going to have to deal with in the future unfortunately

This is another fire that USFS did not jump on right away. I am not talking about the guys and gals on the hand crews either. I am talking about forest administrators who would not let their crews or CalFire crews to jump on the fire at the outset. First USFS said there were no resources avaliable, which is bull, considering that USFS had a number of trucks park two miles to the north. They were told to "let the fire come to them". They also told the media that the fire not accessable from the ground, which is also BS. There was also several crews of CalFire personnel almost on top of the fire. USFS would not let them fight the fire. The Batt Chief on-site and in charge literally said "F**k it! I am bringing in dozers and more crews tomorrow and we are going to knock this thing down!" That night is when the fire blew up, and the rest is history. USFS have circled the wagons, along with some top CalFire officials, and continue to lie about why they did not jump on this fire at the outset.

If true, and it is 100% believable, heads need to roll. But the government paycheck gatherers will circle their wagons to hide truth to the very end. Despicable if true.

[@mkay1957]

@@CC_Marauder The USFS has already circled the wagons, and they have gotten a few CalFire officials to back them. To divert attention away from their willful dereliction of duty, they spend all of their time screaming and pointing fingers at whoever started the fires. As far as I'm concerned, the USFS forest administrators responsible for deliberately letting these fires get out of control need to be hung.
