This is our annual Wildfire News thread for 2022.
I thought I would start it out with a positive post since most of the posts in these threads are not always so positive.
Great opportunity for young women interested in a Fire Fighting Career and as a father of two daughters I thought I would pass along the information on this unique opportunity.

The Bouquet Fire started on 5-30-2022 as a result of a traffic collision at Bouquet Canyon and Spunky roads. 50 plus acres and wind driven that has much potential to become a large fire. This is in Santa Clarita area and will impact the hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail.

Fire at Sheep Creek & Hwy 2. It's showing on sbcfire & CHP.

Somebody communicate this to fire officials. There's someone flying a drone in a white in a white pickup truck on right mountain road while the helicopters are flying around trying to fight the fire.

If you can see the person - call the CHP. CHP is closing the WB 2 at Wright Mountain Rd. Or call SB Fire.

Joe Schmoe · « **Reply #17 on:** Jun 11, 22, 07:51:23 PM »

I communicated it to the CHP guy. He said he couldn't take care of it because he has to hold his post blocking the road. I talked to the guy myself and educated him that if they see his drone they will ground the helicopters. He said he understood.
