respect to all involved, but first time in my life ive ever heard rattlesnakes explicitly mentioned as a risk for firefighters

How do deputies not have fire extinguishers in their patrol vehicles? The deputy came upon this for as 10’x10’ and he called it in without doing anything else? The fuck are we paying these people for.

@BeantownDegen @jeffcosheriffco Really? And you are an expert?

Seems it would be great to allocate some other fire resources so this one doesn’t get big too but maybe that’s impossible Even a couple retardant drops on that treacherous terrain would help firefighters on the ground

Appreciate that winds can change and everyone needs to be diligent, but can you provide some information on which direction the fire is heading or is forecasted to head?

@BeantownDegen @jeffcosheriffco How so? It's not like it's easy to predict exactly where one's gonna fire. The variables are so wide and change daily that I think you should not talk about something you know nothing about.

Thankful for firefighters but I’ve never heard of rattlesnakes being a cause of concern for firefighters. Wouldn’t they be scared of the fire themselves? Lol

@BeantownDegen @jeffcosheriffco No, our region needs major mitigation, until that is done, fires are going to be an issue.

@BeantownDegen @jeffcosheriffco Masshole says what?
