Traffic Update....Another Vegetation Fire In Arnold Area |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 07/26/2016 07:18 PM
|
Arnold, CA...Another vegetation fire in the Arnold area on Thunderbolt Trail, 1/8th acre in subdivision. Aircraft are overhead now. Update as of 7:20pm...fire contained. Great work firefighters on ground and air!!!! (Editor's note: This is not per TCU Command but only our comments. Since we had two starts within about 60 min and fairly close together please report anything you see as suspicious. It may be nothing but a bad coincidence and prevention is investigating. But in an abundance of caution if you see anything or anyone that doesn't look right call it in.)
Looks Like M-435 may need a bath... |
