A #firefighting #helicopter was involved in a mid-air collision while battling a fire in Riverside County.
Siller Helitanker 37S and Helco Copter 5AS….
N555AS was operating as the Helicopter Coordinator (helco) on the fire.
N555AS #A7120F was tracking 50 feet below N4037S #A4BB24 when their icons merged.

@rolandelli Understandable. I'm not qualified to art. Most people w/opinions aren't qualified so you're one up there.
It's just about grossly inefficient bureaucractic management.
There should be a union-unsettling flexible force to fight wildfires & minimize overtime here, & Floridians should tax themselves for fire protection, especially the affluent.

I know CAL FIRE wants to get this right, but sadly the FHSZ SRA maps are entering a 2nd round of public comment. Which to me means the LRA FHSZ maps won't be published until the end of 2023. #calfire #hazardmaps #LRA #wildfire

I recall a private company based in the mid-west buying up a bunch of old planes and parts for their tanker fleet. Many planes were under contract with Cal Fire. Can't find the exact company but this one looks similar.

#Shasta County Judge Bradley L. Boeckman opens the #ZoggFire manslaughter hearing by making a disclosure:
While he has City of Redding power, the judge is a #PGE residential gas customer.
Neither side objects to the judge on those grounds.
Also his wife has a grandson in #CalFire. No objection by PG&E to that.

Yeah, saw that and it pays next to nothing (by today's standards) but, if I had nothing else going, I think it would be fun at least for awhile. 😉

@GreekCherokee - I've spent a bit of time this week looking for good original info sources such as #CalFire but have found only a couple. It takes motivation and effort and money for a busy organization to move onto a new platform like #Mastodon, and the apparent direction of the #TwitterExodus is still iffy. If it's #Mastodon, then great! That's what I'm betting on right now.

Trying to find #fire community, such as #firewx #activefires #calfire #california and more. Help?

I’ve still a #Twitter account because I expected to be able to get current events from local orgs (#PoliceDepartment, #SchoolDistrict, #CalFire) but now I don’t think Twitter is a reliable source now.
