Hey all,
i wanted to share this,if its wrong,then please delete it,or tell me and i will,

11 firefighters of the Central Calaveras fire district lost their homes while fighting the Butte fire,this was during the IA im assuming,as this fire district is in the area the fire started at.

the is a gofundme page here:https://www.gofundme.com/ks4kdgme if you can help it would sure be wonderfull.in almost every fire i can remember in my area 200 mile radius?..firefighters have lost homes and never get much help in the recovery.several years ago,we had a fire here in Auburn,called the 49 fire,63 residences & 3 commercial structures have been destroyed
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]3 residences & 6 commercial properties with major damage ,383 acres total.why is this important?..its not..BUT while this fire was in full swing,four firefighters working for CalFire were in southern California working a large fire there when the duplex they shared burned in the 49 fire.the bad thing?..they were not contacted about the loss ,they were reliesed to go home for RnR and drove up to ashes,these were young guys,all intheir early 30s,and they got no help as they didnt have renters insurance.all 4 were seasonal firefighters from other states,and lost everything.sadly everyone in my community were so upset with PG&E for the percieved cause of the fire,it was proven to have been started by a tossed cigarette by a motorhome as it was leaving the KOA camp,who also lost several RVs and a building..there were witnesses,but no one got a lic plate,and the KOA people said they dont pay attention to vehicle types,,just lic plates and owner name and address.shame.the person should have been prosicuted.
